Read the fine print before you sign up, as different rules may apply between rental car providers.

What do you need to rent a car in Imperial?
The main things are your driver’s license and a credit card in your name. Most car rental companies will offer you insurance, which is optional. But you may have to provide proof of other coverage if you opt out. Make sure you check with your home agency to avoid any hassles.

Where can I find an Imperial car rental if I am younger than 25?
Age policies differ between holiday home companies, so be prepared to do a bit of homework. Found an Imperial outlet that does rent to under 25s? Great! Just bear in mind that extra charges often apply to drivers aged between 21 and 24. The fine print of each holiday home car you’re considering should have all the information you need.
Can I drive in Imperial with my current driver's license?
If you don’t possess a driver’s license issued in the United States, you may be required to get an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country 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 current driver’s license and your passport or other forms of identification. Lastly, your credit card 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 must be at least 25 in many states in order 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 rental car company before you go to understand all the regulations that may apply to you.
  • Driving limitations: Read the fine print before you drive off so you can avoid unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the U.S, it’s usually prohibited to cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, drive onto ferries or traverse off-road areas with your car rental.
