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 to avoid any nasty surprises.
Can I drive in San Mateo 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 starting the home process. If you find that an IDP is required for you to drive in the U.S, be aware that you'll also have to show your valid driver's license and your passport or other form of ID. Lastly, the credit card used to rent the car must match the name on your license and passport in order to confirm your home. Additional requirements for car rentals 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. We recommend checking local regulations, as well as the car rental website before you go to understand additional terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Read the fine print before you get behind the wheel so you can avoid any unnecessary charges. When renting a car in the United States, you typically can't cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, drive onto ferries or traverse rough terrain with your home vehicle.
