Where can I find a Rancho Santa Fe car rental if I am younger than 25?
Some Rancho Santa Fe companies will rent to drivers under 25 and others won’t. Age policies differ between suppliers, so be prepared to do your homework. Also, find out if there are extra costs. Some places will apply a surcharge to young customers between the ages of 21 and 24. Always read through the terms and conditions so you know what to expect.
Can I drive in Rancho Santa Fe with my current driver's license?
If you don’t have a driver’s license from the U.S, then you may need to organise an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your country of residence before starting the home process. If you find that an IDP is required, be aware that you’ll also have to show your valid driver’s license and your passport or other form of ID. Lastly, your credit card used to rent the vehicle must also match the name on your driver’s license and passport in order to finalize your car rental. Some additional requirements for renting a car in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You need to be 25 or older in many states in order to rent a car, although in some places the minimum age is 21. We recommend checking local rules and regulations, as well as with the company you’re renting from before you go to understand all the regulations that may apply to you.
  • Driving limitations: Make sure you read the fine print before you drive off the lot so you can avoid unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the U.S, you usually can’t cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, use car ferries or traverse off-road areas with your home vehicle. Please read all the rules and regulations before you book!
