Many outlets impose a daily young renter fee in addition to the standard car rental rate. This helps cover the extra risk of accident or damage. While many car classes (like compact and mid-size) are available to young motorists, restrictions usually apply to specialty and luxury vehicles.
What do you need to rent a car in Santa Rosa?

Where can I find a Santa Rosa car rental if I am younger than 25?
Whether or not you can rent a car if you are under 25 in Santa Rosa often depends on the holiday home supplier you select. Some outlets have a surcharge for drivers aged between 21 and 24 years, whereas other companies may not apply any additional fees for this age group. It’d be wise to go through the terms and conditions of your preferred holiday home dealer to escape excessive charges on pickup.
Can I drive in Santa Rosa with my current driver's license?
If you don’t possess a driver’s license issued in the United States, then you might need to get an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country before starting the home process. If you find that an IDP is part of the requirements 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 forms of identification. Lastly, your credit card used to rent the car must also 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 in order to rent a car, although in some areas, 21 years and older is allowed. We recommend checking state and local regulations, as well as the car rental website before you go to understand all the regulations that may apply to you.
  • Driving limitations: Read the fine print before you get behind the wheel to avoid unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the U.S, you usually can’t cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, use car ferries or go off-roading with your home vehicle. Please read all the rules and regulations before booking!
