How old do you have to be to rent a car in Imperial Beach?
You have to be at least 21. But there are several age-related restrictions you should bear in mind before you book your wheels in Imperial Beach. If you’re a young driver, home providers will likely charge an additional fee and limit the kinds of cars you’re able to rent. The exact surcharge, and which ages it applies to, differs between companies. Be sure to compare the requirements.
What do you need to rent a car in Imperial Beach?
The main requirements are your driver’s license and a credit card in the same name. Car rental companies will offer you insurance, which is optional. But you may have to provide proof of other coverage if you opt out. Check your policy requirements to avoid any hassles.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Imperial Beach?
Yes, which means you won’t have to rebook a holiday home vehicle mid-holiday. Head to our long-term car rental deals page, enter your travel dates and reserve a ride to call your own for however long you want.
Where can I find an Imperial Beach car rental if I am younger than 25?
Age policies are different between holiday home companies, so be prepared to do some research. Found an Imperial Beach outlet that does rent to drivers under the age of 25? Terrific! Just bear in mind that some companies charge extra fees to drivers between the ages of 21 and 24. The fine print of each holiday home car you’re considering should have all the details you need.
Can I drive in Imperial Beach with my current driver's license?
If you don’t possess a driver’s license from the United States, then you may need to apply for 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, be aware that you’ll also have to show your valid driver’s license and your passport or other form of ID. Lastly, the credit card you used to rent the car must match the name on your driver’s license and passport in order to finalize your car rental. Other things you should know about rental cars in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You must be at least 25 in most states to be able to rent a car, although in some places, the minimum age is 21 years. We recommend checking local regulations, as well as the car rental website before you book to understand all the terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Be sure to read the fine print before you drive off so you can avoid any unnecessary charges. When renting a car in the United States, it’s usually prohibited to cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, use car ferries or go off-roading with a rental car. Please read the regulations before booking!
