How old do you have to be to rent a car in Carnelian Bay?
Drivers aged 21 and above can road trip around Carnelian Bay in a home vehicle. If you’re a young renter, a daily surcharge will apply. You’ll generally have fewer car categories to select from, such as compact and mid-size, and may also have to purchase an all-inclusive insurance rate. Always enter the correct age of the main driver when booking to learn if any restrictions or surcharges apply.
What do you need to rent a car in Carnelian Bay?
While booking conditions may differ between rental car outlets, the two main things you’ll need are a valid 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.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Carnelian Bay?
Expedia makes it a cinch to pick up a quality long-term holiday home in Carnelian Bay. Simply visit our long-term car rental deals page, enter your preferences and compare the offers.
Where can I find a Carnelian Bay car rental if I am younger than 25?
Whether you can rent a car under the age of 25 in Carnelian Bay often depends on the holiday home company you choose. Some places apply a surcharge for drivers between 21 and 24 years old, yet others may not apply any additional fees for this age range. Ensure you read the terms and conditions of your selected car company to avoid any nasty surprises when picking up your keys.
Can I drive in Carnelian Bay with my current driver's license?
If you don’t have a driver’s license from the United States, you may be required to apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country before renting a car. 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 current 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. Some additional requirements for renting a car in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You’ll need to be 25 in many states to rent a car, although in some places the minimum age is 21. We recommend checking local regulations, as well as the car rental website before you book to understand additional terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Read the fine print before you get behind the wheel so you can avoid any unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the United States, you usually can’t cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, drive onto ferries or traverse certain types of rugged terrain with your home. We recommend reading all the rules and regulations before you book!
