What types of cars can I rent in Chico?

How old do you have to be to rent a car in Chico?
In most cases, the rules are 21 years of age and over in Chico. You should be aware that most companies have a young driver surcharge. Check before you sign up, as different rules may apply between rental car suppliers. Bear in mind that if you’re planning to rent a luxury ride or a larger car like a premium SUV, rules may require drivers to be older than 21.
What do you need to rent a car in Chico?
A valid driver’s license and a credit card in the same name are necessities. Opting out of the company’s insurance plan? In that case, you’re also likely to need proof of your own coverage. Requirements can differ from home company to home company, so read your policy thoroughly.

Click on our long-term car rental deals page, enter your preferences and then lock in your ideal ride. Whether you’re basing yourself in Chico or road-tripping around, Expedia will help you find a long-term holiday home at an amazing rate.
Where can I find a Chico car rental if I am younger than 25?
Some Chico companies will rent cars to drivers under 25 years of age, and others won’t. Age policies differ between suppliers, so you should do some research. Also, find out if there are any additional costs. Some businesses will apply a surcharge to young drivers between 21 and 24. Always check the terms and conditions to avoid any surprise fees.
Can I drive in Chico with my current driver's license?
If you don’t have a driver’s license issued in the United States, then you might need to organise an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country before renting a car. If you find that an IDP is part of the requirements 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 forms of ID. Lastly, the credit card you used to rent the vehicle must match the name on your 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 need to be 25 or older 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 you book to understand all the regulations that may apply to you.
  • Driving limitations: Be sure to read the fine print before you drive off the lot so you can avoid any unnecessary charges. When renting a car in the U.S, you usually can’t cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, drive on ferries or go off-roading with your home. Please read all the rules and regulations before you book!
