What do you need to rent a car in Old Town San Diego?

If you’re a younger driver hoping to book a holiday home in Old Town San Diego, it’d be wise to check the policies of the holiday home companies you’re interested in. Some may rent to drivers under 25 some may not. There may be extra costs if you’re aged between 21 and 24. To escape any surprise fees and charges on pickup, make sure you know exactly what to expect.
Can I drive in Old Town San Diego with my current driver's license?
If you don’t have a driver’s license from the United States, you might need to organise an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your country of residence 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 valid driver’s license and your passport or other forms of identification. Lastly, the credit card used to rent the vehicle 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 need to be 25 or older in many states in order to rent a car, although in some areas allow drivers as young as 21. We recommend checking state and 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 any unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the United States, it’s usually prohibited to cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, drive onto ferries or traverse rough terrain with your car rental.
