How old do you have to be to rent a car in Gilroy?

Many home suppliers impose what’s known as a young driver surcharge, which is an extra fee to the cost of the rental car. Restrictions usually apply to the types of cars young drivers can rent as well. Age limits may differ between outlets, so check before booking.
What do you need to rent a car in Gilroy?
You’ll need to present a valid driver’s license and a credit card in your name at the home counter. Before pickup, check with your home supplier whether anything else is needed. For example, you may also need to show proof of auto insurance.

Where can I find a Gilroy car rental if I am younger than 25?
Whether or not you can rent a vehicle if you are under 25 in Gilroy often depends on the holiday home company you choose. Some places have a surcharge for drivers between 21 and 24 years old, but other companies may not have any additional fees for this age range. Ensure you go through the terms and conditions of your chosen car company to avoid unnecessary costs when picking up your keys.
Can I drive in Gilroy with my current driver's license?
If you don’t possess a driver’s license issued in the United States, then you might need to get an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your country of residence before renting a car in the U.S. If you find that an IDP is part of the requirements to drive in the U.S, know that you’ll also have to show your valid driver’s license and your passport or other forms of ID. Lastly, the credit card you used to rent the vehicle needs to match the name on your license and passport in order to confirm your home. 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 in order to rent a car, although in some places, the minimum age is 21 years. We recommend checking state and local regulations, as well as with the company you’re renting from before you travel to understand all the terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Read the fine print before you drive off the lot so you can avoid any unnecessary charges. When renting a car in the United States, you usually can’t cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, drive on ferries or traverse certain types of rugged terrain with your rental car. Please read the regulations before you book!
