How old do you have to be to rent a car in Calpine?
Generally, you need to be 21 years and over in Calpine. It should be pointed out that most outlets will charge additional fees for young renters. Check before you choose your ride, as different rules may apply between rental car providers. Bear in mind that if you’re planning to rent a luxury ride or a larger car like an SUV, you may need to be older than 21.
What do you need to rent a car in Calpine?
You’ll need to present a valid driver’s license and a credit card when you get to the home counter. Prior to pickup, check with your chosen home company whether other documentation is needed. For example, you may also need to show proof of insurance.

Where can I find a Calpine car rental if I am younger than 25?
Age policies differ between holiday home suppliers, so you’ll have to do a little research. Found a Calpine outlet that does rent to drivers under 25 years of age? Awesome! Just take note that an extra charge often applies to drivers between the ages of 21 and 24. The fine print of each holiday home car you’re looking at should have all the details you need.
Can I drive in Calpine with my current driver's license?
If you don’t possess a driver’s license from the U.S, then you may 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., be aware that you’ll also have to show your valid driver’s license and your passport or other form of ID. Lastly, the credit card used to rent the vehicle must match the name on your driver’s license and passport in order to finalize your car rental. Other things you should know about renting a car in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You’ll need to be 25 in many states in order 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 terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Make sure you read the fine print before you get behind the wheel to avoid unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the United States, it’s usually prohibited to cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, drive onto ferries or go off-roading with your rental car. Please read all the rules and regulations before booking!
