What types of cars can I rent in Lakeside?

Compact, mid-size and full-size vehicles are other options to consider.

How old do you have to be to rent a car in Lakeside?
Generally, you need to be 21 years and over in Lakeside. Be aware that most outlets have a young driver surcharge. Check before you choose your ride, as rules may differ between rental car providers. Keep in mind that if you’re planning to rent a luxury vehicle or a large car like an SUV, you may need to be older than 21.
What do you need to rent a car in Lakeside?

Where can I find a Lakeside car rental if I am younger than 25?
Some Lakeside companies will rent to drivers under 25 and others won’t. Policies differ from supplier to supplier, so you’ll have to do some research. Also, find out if there are any additional costs. Some businesses will apply a surcharge to young drivers between 21 and 24. Always look through the terms and conditions to avoid any surprise fees.
Can I drive in Lakeside with my current driver's license?
If you don’t possess a driver’s license from the U.S, then you might need to organise an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your country of residence before starting the home process. If you find that an IDP is required, know that you’ll also have to show your current driver’s license and your passport or other forms of ID. Lastly, your credit card used to rent the car must also match the name on your driver’s 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 to rent a car, although in some places the minimum age is 21. We recommend checking local regulations, as well as with the rental car company before your trip to understand all the terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Be sure to read the fine print before you slide behind the wheel to avoid unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the U.S, you usually can’t cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, drive on ferries or traverse off-road areas with your home vehicle. Please read the regulations before you book!
