What types of cars can I rent in Riverside?
Affordably priced, zippy and good on mileage, it’s no coincidence that compact cars are the most sought-after home type in Riverside. Explore this city in one of these and you’ll be able to fit into tight parking spaces and easily manoeuvre busy streets. A compact is perfect for city breaks or shorter road trips. But they’re not your only choice. Go even smaller with an economy ride or bigger with an intermediate, a full-size or premium — the choice is all yours!

Riverside is full of fun adventures, but don’t limit yourself to just one place. Organise a set of wheels and take to the road to see what else awaits in the surrounding region. Here are some great options:

  • Milwaukee is 137 kilometres from Riverside. Top-rated tourist attractions like Milwaukee Art Museum deserve to be high on your list while you’re in town.
  • Roughly 193 kilometres away, Madison is also a favourite with wanderers. Be sure to get to University of Wisconsin-Madison while you’re in town. It’s one of the reasons people love visiting this colourful city.

How old do you have to be to rent a car in Riverside?
Drivers 21 and over can hit the road in Riverside in a home vehicle. If you’re a young motorist, a daily surcharge will apply. You’ll generally have fewer car categories to select from, such as economy and mid-size, and may also have to purchase comprehensive insurance. Be sure to enter the correct age of the main driver when booking to learn if any restrictions or surcharges apply.
What do you need to rent a car in Riverside?
Renting a car in Riverside is easy as pie. Normally, all you’ll need is a current driver’s license and a credit card. Once you’ve settled on a great set of wheels, read your policy to make sure there are no extra requirements before pickup.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Riverside?
Yes. Expedia partners with quality providers that offer long-term holiday homes for many car categories. Reserve one of our long-term car rental deals and discover every nook and cranny of Riverside — or beyond!
Where can I find a Riverside car rental if I am younger than 25?
Renting a vehicle if you are under 25 in Riverside often depends on the holiday home supplier you select. Some places have a surcharge for drivers aged between 21 and 24 years, whereas others may not apply any extra costs for this age group. Make sure you understand the terms and conditions of your selected holiday home company to avoid unnecessary costs on pickup.
Can I drive in Riverside with my current driver's license?
If you don’t have a driver’s license issued in the United States, then you may need to get 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, note that you’ll also need to show your current driver’s license and your passport or other form of ID. Lastly, your credit card 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 places, the minimum age is 21 years. We recommend checking 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 leave the lot so you can avoid any unnecessary charges. When renting a car in the United States, you usually can’t cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, drive on ferries or go off-roading with your home. Please read the regulations before booking!
