How old do you have to be to rent a car in Bodega Bay?

Most home providers impose what is known as a young renter surcharge, which is an extra fee to the cost of the rental car. Restrictions often apply to the classes of cars available to young people as well. Age limits may differ between companies, so check before booking.
What do you need to rent a car in Bodega Bay?
The main things are your driver’s license and a credit card in your name. Car rental companies will offer you insurance, which is optional. But you may be asked to provide proof of alternative coverage if you choose to opt out. Check with your home provider to avoid any issues.

Where can I find a Bodega Bay car rental if I am younger than 25?
Renting a car if you are under 25 years old in Bodega Bay often depends on the home provider you choose. Some outlets have a surcharge for young customers aged between 21 and 24 years, however other companies may not have any extra fees for this age group. It’d be good to go through the terms and conditions of your preferred car company to avoid extra charges on pickup.
Can I drive in Bodega Bay with my current driver's license?
If you don’t have a license from the U.S, then you might need to apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your country of residence 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 valid driver’s license and your passport or other forms of ID. Lastly, the credit card used to rent the car needs to match the name on your 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 need to be 25 or older in many states in order to rent a car, although in some areas allow drivers as young as 21. We recommend checking local regulations, as well as with the rental car company before you book to understand additional terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Make sure you read the fine print before you slide behind the wheel so you can avoid unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the U.S, you usually can’t cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, drive on ferries or traverse off-road areas with your home vehicle. Please read all the rules and regulations before booking!
