How old do you have to be to rent a car in South Gate?
South Gate rules state drivers must be 21 and over before they can rent a vehicle. However, young drivers will be subject to an extra cost and tighter home conditions. Most suppliers impose a daily young renter fee on top of the car rental rate. This covers the extra risk of damage or accident. While many car categories (like compact and economy) are available to young motorists, restrictions generally apply to specialty and premium cars.
What do you need to rent a car in South Gate?
Before you can hop behind the wheel in South Gate, you’ll need a driver’s license and a credit card. If you prefer not to take out the company’s insurance plan, you may also have to provide proof of alternative coverage. Rules may vary, so read the contract terms and conditions before you select a home supplier.

Where can I find a South Gate car rental if I am younger than 25?
If you’re a young driver looking for a car rental in South Gate, we recommend reading the policies of the car rental companies you’re interested in. Some may rent to drivers under 25 some may not. There may be additional fees if you’re between 21 and 24 years old. To avoid any surprises on pickup, make sure you know what to expect.
Can I drive in South Gate 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 country of residence before starting the home process. If you find that an IDP is required, know that you’ll also have to show your valid driver’s license and your passport or other forms of identification. Lastly, the credit card used to rent the vehicle must match the name on your 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 many states in order to rent a car, although in some areas, 21 years and older is allowed. We recommend checking local rules and regulations, as well as the car rental website before you book to understand all the regulations that may apply to you.
  • Driving limitations: Read the fine print before you drive off the lot 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, drive on ferries or traverse off-road areas with your home vehicle. Please read the regulations before booking!
