Sacramento rules state drivers must be 21 and above before they can rent a vehicle. However, young drivers can expect a surcharge and tighter home conditions. Most providers impose a daily young renter fee in addition to the car rental rate. This covers the extra risk of accident or damage. While many car categories (like economy and compact) are available to young drivers, restrictions usually apply to luxury cars.
What do you need to rent a car in Sacramento?
Generally, all that’s required is a current driver’s license and a credit card in the same name when picking up your vehicle. Proof of coverage may also be needed if you choose to opt out of the company’s insurance plan. Rules may differ between home providers, so remember to check while booking.

Just bear in mind that extra charges often apply to drivers between 21 and 24. The fine print of each holiday home car you’re looking at should have all the information you need.
Can I drive in Sacramento with my current driver's license?
If you don’t possess a driver’s license issued in the U.S, then you might need to organise 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 driver’s license and your passport or other form of ID. Lastly, your credit card used to rent the car must also match the name on your driver’s license and passport in order to confirm your home. Some additional requirements for renting a car in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You need to be 25 or older in most states to be able to rent a car, although in some areas, 21 years and older is allowed. We recommend checking state and local regulations, and with the car rental company before your trip 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 fees. When renting a car in the U.S, you usually can’t cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, drive onto ferries or traverse rough terrain with your home. We recommend reading all the rules and regulations before booking!
