What types of cars can I rent in Sacramento?
Whatever suits your style! Go for a mid-size or full-size if you’re travelling with the family, or scale up to a premium if it’s sophistication you’re after. Or, choose an economy model — the most popular home in Sacramento. Affordable and with great mileage, they’re a good match for solo travellers, couples or anyone else who doesn’t need a large amount of room. They’re particularly suited to exploring cities. Getting into narrow parking spots will be a piece of cake!
Where can I go on a road trip from Sacramento?
Sacramento is full of adventures, but don’t limit yourself to only one place. Organise a set of wheels and head off to see what else awaits in the wider region. Here are some places to consider:

  • Washington is 193 kilometres from Sacramento. Renowned tourist attractions like White House deserve to be at the top of your list here.
  • Around 153 kilometres away, Baltimore is also popular with wanderers. Allow time to take in National Aquarium in Baltimore while you’re here. It’s one of the reasons people love staying a while in this thriving city.
  • American Falls is around 338 kilometres from Sacramento and is one of the region’s most breathtaking nature spots. Pack a picnic lunch and enjoy the fresh air.

How old do you have to be to rent a car in Sacramento?
In Sacramento, the requirement is generally 21 years of age and over. Most outlets will charge additional fees for young drivers, which can vary based on the home location. Home policies for young drivers may restrict certain vehicles, such as specialty cars, and require the purchase of inclusive insurance. It’s always a good idea to read the fine print before booking your wheels.
What do you need to rent a car in Sacramento?
You’ll need to present a valid driver’s license and a credit card at the home counter. Before pickup, check with your selected company 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 Sacramento?
Whether you plan to stop in Sacramento or discover what’s beyond, it’s easy to reserve a long-term home with Expedia. Enter your trip information and pick-up/drop-off locations and we’ll find you affordable long-term car rental deals.
Where can I find a Sacramento car rental if I am younger than 25?
Some Sacramento outlets will rent to drivers under 25 years old, and others won’t. Policies differ between suppliers, so be prepared to do some research. Also, find out if there are any extra costs. Some places will have a surcharge for young customers between 21 and 24. Always look through the terms and conditions to avoid any nasty surprises.
Can I drive in Sacramento with my current driver's license?
If you don’t have a license from the United States, you might 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 for you to drive in the U.S, note that you’ll also need to show your valid driver’s license and your passport or other forms of identification. Lastly, the credit card you 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 renting a car in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You need to be 25 or older in most states to be able to rent a car, although in some places, the minimum age is 21 years. We recommend checking state and local regulations, as well as the car rental website before you travel to understand additional terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Be sure to read the fine print before you slide behind the wheel 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 onto ferries or traverse rough terrain with your home. Please read all the rules and regulations before you book!
