How old do you have to be to rent a car in San Simeon?
Home vehicle rules in San Simeon require drivers to be 21 and older. Are you a young driver? Some surcharges and restrictions could apply. Most home providers impose what’s known as a young renter surcharge, which is an extra fee to the rental car cost. Restrictions usually apply to the classes of cars available to young people too. Age limits may vary between suppliers, so check before you book.
What do you need to rent a car in San Simeon?
Your driver’s license and a credit card in the same name are necessities. Don’t want to take out the company’s insurance plan? Then you may also need proof of other coverage. Requirements may differ between home suppliers, so be sure to read through your policy.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in San Simeon?
You can rent a vehicle for a month or longer in San Simeon, so go on and extend your stay! Simply enter your trip dates into our long-term car rental deals page and find your ideal ride.
Where can I find a San Simeon car rental if I am younger than 25?
This depends on the holiday home companies operating in San Simeon. They often have different policies when it comes to minimum ages. If you’ve found a supplier that does cater to drivers under the age of 25 keep in mind that additional costs may apply. Do some research into what those charges could be before collecting the vehicle.
Can I drive in San Simeon with my current driver's license?
If you don’t possess a driver’s license from the United States, then you might need to organise an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your country of residence before renting a car. 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 current valid driver’s license and your passport or other form of ID. Lastly, the credit card that was used to rent the car must match the name on your driver’s license and passport in order to finalize your car rental. Some additional requirements for renting a car 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. We recommend checking local rules and regulations, as well as the car rental website before you book to understand additional terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Don’t forget to read the fine print before you slide behind the wheel so you can avoid unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the United States, you typically can’t cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, use car ferries or go off-roading with your car rental. We recommend reading all the rules and regulations before booking!
