How old do you have to be to rent a car in San Clemente?
In San Clemente, the rule is 21 years of age and over. Most companies will charge extra fees for young drivers, which can differ 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 a good idea to read the fine print carefully before booking your ride.
What do you need to rent a car in San Clemente?
The main things are your driver’s license and a credit card in your name. Car rental companies will offer you insurance, which is optional. But you may have to provide proof of alternative coverage if you prefer to opt out. Make sure you check your policy requirements to avoid any problems.

Where can I find a San Clemente car rental if I am younger than 25?
You’ll need to check the age policy of the San Clemente holiday home suppliers you’re considering. If you’re under 25 years old, be mindful that some will charge extra fees. It’s handy to know this in advance so you can have the funds ready. Every holiday home car company has its own policies for young drivers, so do your research.
Can I drive in San Clemente with my current driver's license?
If you don’t have a license issued in the U.S, you might need to organise an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country before renting a car. If you find that an IDP is required, know that you’ll also have 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 needs to match the name on your license and passport in order to finalize your car rental. Additional requirements for car rentals 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 local rules and regulations, as well as with the company you’re renting from before you book to understand all the regulations that may apply to you.
  • Driving limitations: Don’t forget to read the fine print before you slide behind the wheel to avoid unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the U.S, you usually can’t cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, drive on ferries or traverse certain types of rugged terrain with your car rental. Please read all the rules and regulations before booking!
