There could also be restrictions on the sorts of vehicles that can be rented by young drivers. For example, some companies will only rent out small and medium-sized cars to less-experienced motorists. Rules vary between outlets, so be sure to read the fine print.
What do you need to rent a car in Carlsbad Village?
Before you can road trip around Carlsbad Village, you’ll need a driver’s license and a credit card that matches the name on your license. If you decline to take out the home company’s insurance plan, you may also have to show proof of alternative coverage. Rules may vary, so read the contract terms and conditions before you choose a home supplier.

Where can I find a Carlsbad Village car rental if I am younger than 25?
This depends on the car rental companies that are found in Carlsbad Village. They often have different age policies. If you’ve found an outlet that does cater to drivers under the age of 25 keep in mind that additional costs may apply. Conduct some research into any extra charges before booking your home.
Can I drive in Carlsbad Village with my current driver's license?
If you don’t possess a driver’s license from the United States, then you might need to apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your country of residence before starting the home process. If you find that an IDP is required for you to drive in the U.S, know 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 needs to match the name on your license and passport in order to confirm your home. Other things you should know about rental cars in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You’ll need to be 25 or older in many states in order to rent a car, although in some places the minimum age is 21. We recommend checking local rules and regulations, and with the car rental company before you travel to understand all the terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Make sure you read the fine print before you drive off the lot so you can avoid unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the U.S, it’s usually prohibited to cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, drive on ferries or traverse off-road areas with your home. We recommend reading all the rules and regulations before booking!
