How old do you have to be to rent a car in Monterey?
Home vehicle rules in Monterey require drivers to be 21 and above. Are you a young driver? Some restrictions and surcharges may apply. Most home providers impose what is known as a young renter surcharge, which is an extra fee to the rental car cost. Restrictions usually apply to the categories of cars young people can rent as well. Age limits may differ between providers, so check before you book.
What do you need to rent a car in Monterey?
Before you can hop behind the wheel in Monterey, you’ll need a driver’s license and a credit card that matches the name on your license. If you prefer not to take out the company’s insurance policy, you may also have to show proof of your own coverage. Requirements can vary, so understand the policy terms and conditions before you choose a home supplier.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Monterey?
Yes, so you won’t need to rebook a holiday home car mid-holiday. Click on our long-term car rental deals page, enter your details and find a ride that’s all yours for the next month or so.
Where can I find a Monterey car rental if I am younger than 25?
You’ll need to look into the age policy of the Monterey holiday home providers you’re considering. If you’re under 25 years old, be aware that some will charge extra fees. It’s ideal to know about this before collecting the vehicle so you can budget accordingly. Each holiday home car company has its own terms and conditions for young drivers, so do your research.
Can I drive in Monterey with my current driver's license?
If you don’t possess a driver’s license from the United States, you may be required to apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country before renting a car in the U.S. If you find that an IDP is required for you 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, the credit card you used to rent the car must match the name on your driver’s license and passport in order to confirm your home. Other things you should know about rental cars 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 areas allow drivers as young as 21. We recommend checking local rules and regulations, and with the car rental company before you go to understand all the terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Read the fine print before you get behind the wheel so you can avoid unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the U.S, you typically can’t cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, drive onto ferries or traverse off-road areas with your home vehicle.
