Remember to read the fine print before locking in your ride.
What do you need to rent a car in Salinas?
Before you can hop behind the wheel in Salinas, you'll need a driver's licence and a credit card in the same name.

Where can I find a Salinas car rental if I am younger than 25?
You'll need to check the age policy of the Salinas rental suppliers you're interested in. If you're under 25 years old, some outlets will charge additional fees. It's best to know this ahead of time so you can budget accordingly. Every rental car company has its own policies for young drivers, so it's smart to do your research.
Can I drive in Salinas with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a driver's license from the U.S, you might need to organise an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country before renting a car. 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 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. Other things you should know about rental cars in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You'll 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 book to understand all the regulations that may apply to you.
  • Driving limitations: Don't forget to read the fine print before you slide behind the wheel so you can avoid any unnecessary charges. When renting a car in the United States, it's usually prohibited to cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, drive onto ferries or traverse rough terrain with your car rental. Please read all the rules and regulations before you book!
