Be sure to read the fine print carefully before booking your ride.
What do you need to rent a car in Menlo Park?

Where can I find a Menlo Park car rental if I am younger than 25?
The ability to rent a car if you are under 25 years old in Menlo Park often depends on the holiday home provider you choose. Some outlets have a surcharge for young drivers between 21 and 24 years old, whereas others may not apply any additional fees for this age bracket. It’d be smart to read the terms and conditions of your preferred car company to avoid any surprise charges at the holiday home desk.
Can I drive in Menlo Park with my current driver's license?
If you don’t have a license issued in the United States, you may be required to organise an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your country of residence before renting a car. If you find that an IDP is part of the requirements to drive in the U.S, note that you’ll also need to show your current valid driver’s license and your passport or other forms of ID. Lastly, the credit card used to rent the vehicle 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 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 the car rental website 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 so you can avoid any unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the United States, it’s usually prohibited to cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, drive on ferries or traverse rough terrain with your rental car. Please read the regulations before booking!
