What types of cars can I rent in Riverside?

With terrific gas mileage and easy manoeuvrability and parking, they’re perfect for cruising around the city. A compact car offers slightly more space than an economy vehicle, so you can hit the road in a bit more comfort and style. Prefer something bigger?

How old do you have to be to rent a car in Riverside?
If you’re aged 21 and over, you can rent a car in Riverside. Be aware that most home suppliers will charge young drivers an additional fee, which is meant to cover the higher damage or accident risk involved. Also, young drivers often aren’t permitted to rent specialty or luxury vehicles. Take note of the terms and conditions before booking so there are no hassles during pickup.
What do you need to rent a car in Riverside?
You’ll need to present a valid driver’s license and a credit card at the home counter. Before pickup, check with your home provider whether other documentation is needed. For example, you may also need to provide proof of auto insurance.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Riverside?
You can, and the great news is providers often offer lower rates the longer your holiday home term. Scroll through our long-term car rental deals in Riverside and drive off with an amazing bargain.
Where can I find a Riverside car rental if I am younger than 25?
Some Riverside providers will rent to drivers under 25 years old, and others won’t. Age policies differ from supplier to supplier, so be prepared to do some research. Also, find out if there are any extra costs. Some places will pass on a surcharge to young drivers between 21 and 24. Make sure you read through the terms and conditions so you know what to expect.
Can I drive in Riverside with my current driver's license?
If you don’t possess a driver’s license issued in the U.S, 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 part of the requirements 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 that was used to rent the vehicle must also match the name on your driver’s 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 local regulations, as well as with the company you’re renting from before your trip to understand all the regulations that may apply to you.
  • Driving limitations: Read the fine print before you drive off the lot so you can avoid unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the United States, you typically can’t cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, drive onto ferries or traverse rough terrain with your car rental. Please read the regulations before booking!
