Be sure to compare the requirements.
What do you need to rent a car in Avila Beach?
While rules can differ between car rental outlets, the two main things you’ll need are a current driver’s license and a credit card. You don’t need to take out insurance with your home company. However, proof of alternative coverage may be necessary.

Where can I find an Avila Beach car rental if I am younger than 25?
Whether or not you can rent a car if you are under 25 in Avila Beach often depends on the holiday home provider you select. Some outlets have a surcharge for drivers between 21 and 24 years of age, whereas others may not have any additional costs for this age group. Make sure you read the terms and conditions of your preferred car company to escape extra charges when picking up your keys.
Can I drive in Avila Beach with my current driver's license?
If you don’t possess a driver’s license from the U.S, you may be required to apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country before renting a car in the U.S. If you find that an IDP is required for you to drive in the U.S., note that you’ll also need to show your current driver’s license and your passport or other form of ID. Lastly, the credit card used to rent the vehicle must also match the name on your driver’s license and passport in order to confirm your home. Additional requirements for car rentals 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. We recommend checking local rules and regulations, as well as with the rental car company before your trip to understand all the regulations that may apply to you.
  • Driving limitations: Be sure 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, you typically can’t cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, drive onto ferries or traverse certain types of rugged terrain with a rental car. We recommend reading all the rules and regulations before you book!
