Monterey Cheap Car Rentals & Car Hire Deals

There are lots of things to see and do in Monterey, but venture further afield and you'll find more sightseeing magic. Rent a set of wheels and you can wander around the surrounding area at your own pace. Add these fantastic drives to your itinerary:

• Santa Clara is around 80 kilometres from Monterey. Famous tourist spots like California's Great America deserve to be at the top of your list while you're in town.
• Your next stop? It has to be Concord, which is around 153 kilometres away. Six Flags Hurricane Harbour Concord is one local draw card you won't want to miss.
• Get out into the great outdoors and breathe in some fresh air at Glacier Point. You'll find it approximately 241 kilometres from Monterey.

If you don't have a driver's license from the United States, then you may need to get 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, note that you'll also need to show your current driver's license and your passport or other forms of identification. Lastly, the credit card that was used to rent the vehicle must match the name on your license and passport in order to finalize your car rental. Additional requirements for car rentals 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 years. We recommend checking state and local regulations, and with the car rental company before you go to understand all the regulations that may apply to you.
• Driving limitations: Don't forget to read the fine print before you drive off the lot to avoid unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the U.S, it's usually prohibited to cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, drive on ferries or traverse certain types of rugged terrain with a rental car. We recommend reading all the rules and regulations before you book!
