How old do you have to be to rent a car in West Coast?
West Coast requires drivers to be 21 and above before they can rent a vehicle. However, young drivers will be subject to a surcharge and stricter rental conditions. Many outlets impose a daily young renter fee in addition to the usual car rental rate. This helps cover the extra risk of accident or damage. While many car classes (like mid-size and compact) are available to young drivers, restrictions usually apply to luxury and specialty vehicles.
What do you need to rent a car in West Coast?
You’ll generally require a driver’s license and a credit card in the same name when collecting your vehicle. You may also need your own proof of coverage if you’d like to opt out of the company’s insurance plan. These requirements often differ between rental companies, so it’s wise to check the terms and conditions.
Can I drive in West Coast with my U.S. Driver's license?
You sure can. The roads of West Coast are waiting for you and your U.S. License is all you need to explore them. Before you head off, consider applying for an International Driving Permit as another valid proof of identity.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in West Coast?
You can rent a car for a month or longer in West Coast, so go on and extend your stay! Simply enter your trip dates into our long-term car rental deals page and find your ideal ride.
Where can I find a West Coast car rental if I am younger than 25?
Age policies are different between rental companies, so be prepared to do a bit of shopping around. Managed to find a West Coast outlet that does rent to drivers under 25 years of age? Great news! Just be aware that extra fees often apply to drivers between the ages of 21 and 24. The terms and conditions of each rental car you’re interested in will have all the information you need.
