How old do you have to be to rent a car in La Costa?
In La Costa, the rule is usually 21 years and over. Most outlets will charge extra fees for young drivers, which can vary based on the home location. Home policies for young drivers may restrict certain vehicles, such as premium SUVs, and require the purchase of inclusive insurance. Be sure to check the fine print before locking in your ride.
What do you need to rent a car in La Costa?
Be prepared to present your driver’s license and a credit card in your name when you get to the home counter. Prior to the pickup date, check with your home provider whether anything else is needed. For example, you may also need to provide proof of auto insurance.

Can I rent a car for a month or longer in La Costa?
Yes, which means you won’t have to rebook a holiday home vehicle halfway through your holiday. Go to our long-term car rental deals page, enter your details and book a ride to call your own for the length of your break.
Where can I find a La Costa car rental if I am younger than 25?
If you’re a young driver hoping to rent a vehicle in La Costa, you’ll need to check the policies of the holiday home companies you’re interested in. Some may rent to drivers under the age of 25 some may not. Surcharges may apply if you’re between 21 and 24 years old. To escape any unpleasant surprises on pickup, make sure you know exactly what to expect.
Can I drive in La Costa with my current driver's license?
If you don’t have 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 starting the home process. 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 current driver’s license and your passport or other forms 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 confirm your home. Other things you should know about 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. We recommend checking local rules and regulations, as well as the car rental website before your trip to understand all the regulations that may apply to you.
  • Driving limitations: Read the fine print before you leave the lot to avoid unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the United States, you usually can’t cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, drive on ferries or traverse off-road areas with your rental car. We recommend reading all the rules and regulations before you book!
