How old do you have to be to rent a car in Downtown Bakersfield?
The minimum age is 21. But there are some age-related restrictions to be aware of before booking your wheels in Downtown Bakersfield. If you’re a younger driver, most home outlets will charge an extra daily fee and limit the sorts of cars you can rent. The exact surcharge, and which age range it applies to, varies between companies. It’s always a good idea to compare the requirements.
What do you need to rent a car in Downtown Bakersfield?
While terms and conditions can differ between car rental outlets, the two key things you’ll need are your driver’s license and a credit card. You don’t need to take out auto insurance with your home provider. However, proof of alternative coverage may be necessary.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Downtown Bakersfield?
Yes, and the awesome news is providers often offer lower rates the longer your home term. Explore our long-term car rental deals in Downtown Bakersfield and hit the road with an amazing bargain.
Where can I find a Downtown Bakersfield car rental if I am younger than 25?
This depends on the holiday home companies that are in Downtown Bakersfield. They often have different age policies. If you’ve found a supplier that does cater to drivers under 25 years of age, take note that additional costs may apply. Conduct some research into what those charges could be before you collect the car.
Can I drive in Downtown Bakersfield 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 starting the home process. 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 driver’s license and your passport or other form of ID. Lastly, the credit card that was used to rent the car must match the name on your 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 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 leave the lot so you can avoid any unnecessary charges. When renting a car in the U.S, you typically can’t cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, use car ferries or traverse certain types of rugged terrain with your car rental.
