What types of cars can I rent in Clearlake?
Whatever meets your needs! Go for an intermediate or full-size if you’re travelling with the family, or scale up to a premium for a top-of-the-range ride.

Affordable and with terrific mileage, they’re ideal for solo travellers, couples or anyone else who doesn’t need a great deal of room. They’re particularly suited to city driving. Slipping into narrow parking spots will be a piece of cake!

How old do you have to be to rent a car in Clearlake?
The youngest age you can rent a car in Clearlake is 21. A surcharge for young drivers will apply, so check before booking and budget for any additional costs. There may also be restrictions on the sorts of vehicles available to young drivers. For example, some companies will only rent out small to medium-sized cars to young motorists. Rules may be different between companies, so be sure to read the fine print.
What do you need to rent a car in Clearlake?
Any home company you select will ask for these two things — your driver’s license and credit card. If you decide to opt out of the provider’s insurance plan, proof of other coverage will also likely be needed. Check your policy so you know what to bring when it’s time to collect your wheels.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Clearlake?
Yes. We partner with trusted providers that offer weekly and monthly holiday homes for many car classes. Head to our long-term car rental deals and explore every square inch of Clearlake — or way beyond!
Where can I find a Clearlake car rental if I am younger than 25?
Age policies are different between holiday home suppliers, so be prepared to do a bit of homework. Managed to find a Clearlake outlet that does rent to drivers under 25 years of age? Great! Just be aware that some companies charge extra fees to drivers aged between 21 and 24. The fine print of each holiday home car you’re looking at will have all the information you need.
Can I drive in Clear Lake with my current driver's license?
If you don’t have a driver’s license from the U.S, you might need to get 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., know that you’ll also have to show your current valid driver’s license and your passport or other forms of identification. Lastly, the credit card used to rent the car 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 or older in many states to rent a car, although in some places the minimum age is 21. We recommend checking state and local regulations, as well as with the company you’re renting from before you go 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 fees. When renting a car in the United States, you typically can’t cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, drive onto ferries or go off-roading with a rental car. We recommend reading all the rules and regulations before booking!
