Where can I find a Riverside car rental if I am younger than 25?
You'll need to look up the age policy of the Riverside rental suppliers you're interested in. If you're under 25 years of age, some will charge extra fees. It's good to know this before collecting the vehicle so you can tailor your budget accordingly. Every rental car company has its own rules for young drivers, so be sure to do your research.
Can I drive in Riverside with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a driver's license issued in the United States, then you might need to get an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country before renting a car in the U.S. If you find that an IDP is part of the requirements to drive in the U.S, know that you'll also have to show your current valid driver's license and your passport or other forms of identification. Lastly, the credit card that was used to rent the car must also match the name on your driver's license and passport in order to finalize your car rental. Other things you should know about rental cars in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You'll need to be 25 in most states to be able to rent a car, although in some places, the minimum age is 21 years. We recommend checking local rules and regulations, as well as with the company you're renting from before you travel to understand all the terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Be sure to 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 typically can't cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, drive on ferries or traverse rough terrain with your home. Please read the regulations before booking!
