How old do you have to be to rent a car in Walnut Creek?
The minimum age to rent a car in Walnut Creek is 21. An extra fee for young drivers usually applies, so check before you book and take into account any additional costs. There could also be restrictions on the types of cars available to young drivers. For example, some outlets will only rent out economy to medium-sized cars to less-experienced motorists. Rules may be different between providers, so look over the fine print.
What do you need to rent a car in Walnut Creek?
You’ll need to present your driver’s license and a credit card in your name when you get to the home counter. Before pickup, check with your chosen home company whether other documentation is needed. For example, you may also need to show proof of insurance.

Where can I find a Walnut Creek car rental if I am younger than 25?
This will depend on the holiday home car companies that are in Walnut Creek. They often have different age policies. If you’ve found a place that does cater to drivers under the age of 25 bear in mind that extra fees may apply. Conduct some research into any extra charges before collecting the vehicle.
Can I drive in Walnut Creek with my current driver's license?
If you don’t have a license from the U.S, you may be required to organise an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your country of residence before renting a car in the U.S. If you find that an IDP is required, be aware that you’ll also have to show your current driver’s license and your passport or other forms of ID. Lastly, the credit card that was used to rent the car needs to match the name on your license and passport in order to finalize your car rental. Other things you should know about rental cars 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 areas, 21 years and older is allowed. We recommend checking state and local regulations, as well as the car rental website before you travel to understand all the regulations that may apply to you.
  • Driving limitations: Make sure you read the fine print before you drive off the lot so you can avoid any unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the United States, you typically can’t cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, drive on ferries or go off-roading with your car rental. Please read all the rules and regulations before you book!
