How old do you have to be to rent a car in National City?
Drivers aged 18 and over can hit the highway in National City in a home vehicle. If you’re a young driver, a daily surcharge will apply. You’ll generally be limited to a few car categories, such as economy and mid-size, and may also have to take out inclusive insurance. Be sure to enter the correct age of the primary driver when booking to find out if any restrictions or extra fees apply.
What do you need to rent a car in National City?
A valid driver’s license and a credit card in the same name. Don’t want to take out the company’s insurance plan? If that’s the case, you may need proof of your own coverage. The requirements may differ from home company to home company, so be sure to read through your policy.

Yes, and you’re sure to find your perfect set of wheels on our long-term car rental deals page. Just enter your trip dates and we’ll show you incredible options from a range of trustworthy providers.
Where can I find a National City car rental if I am younger than 25?
Age policies differ between holiday home suppliers, so you’ll have to do some research. Managed to find a National City outlet that does rent to drivers under 25 years of age? That’s great! Just be aware that extra fees often apply to drivers between 21 and 24. The fine print of each holiday home car you’re interested in will have all the information you need.
Can I drive in National City with my current driver's license?
If you don’t have a 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. If you find that an IDP is required for you 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 identification. Lastly, the credit card you used to rent the car needs to match the name on your license and passport in order to finalize your car rental. Additional requirements for car rentals 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 with the rental car company before your trip to understand all the regulations that may apply to you.
  • Driving limitations: Be sure to read the fine print before you drive off the lot 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 on ferries or traverse off-road areas with your car rental.
