How old do you have to be to rent a car in Oceanside?
You have to be at least 21. But there are a few age-related requirements you should be aware of before booking your Oceanside wheels. If you’re a younger driver, many home providers will charge an additional daily fee and limit the types of vehicles you’re able to rent. The surcharge amount, and which ages it applies to, differs between suppliers. It’s a good idea to compare the rules.
What do you need to rent a car in Oceanside?
Before you can get behind the wheel in Oceanside, you’ll need a driver’s license and a credit card.

Requirements may vary, so read the contract terms and conditions before you select a home company.

Yes, which means you won’t need to rebook a holiday home vehicle mid-holiday. Head over to our long-term car rental deals page, enter your travel dates and lock in a ride that’s all yours for the duration of your getaway.
Where can I find an Oceanside car rental if I am younger than 25?
Some Oceanside outlets will rent cars to drivers under 25 and others won’t. Age policies differ between suppliers, so be prepared to do your homework. Also, find out if there are any additional costs. Some businesses will have a surcharge for young drivers between 21 and 24. Always read through the terms and conditions to avoid any surprise fees.
Can I drive in Oceanside with my current driver's license?
If you don’t possess a driver’s license issued in the United States, then you might need to organise an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your country of residence before renting a car in the U.S. If you find that an IDP is required for you to drive in the U.S, note that you’ll also need to show your current driver’s license and your passport or other forms of ID. Lastly, the credit card you used to rent the car must also match the name on your driver’s license and passport in order to finalize your car rental. 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 local regulations, as well as with the rental car company before you travel to understand all the terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Don’t forget to read the fine print before you leave the lot so you can avoid unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the U.S, you typically can’t cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, use car ferries or go off-roading with your car rental. Please read the details before booking!
