Renting a car under the age of 25 in Watsonville often depends on the holiday home provider you choose. Some businesses apply a surcharge for young customers between 21 and 24 years old, however others may not apply any extra costs for this age bracket. It’d be wise to read the terms and conditions of your preferred holiday home dealer to avoid excessive charges on pickup.
Can I drive in Watsonville 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 apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country before renting a car. If you find that an IDP is required, note that you’ll also need to show your valid driver’s license and your passport or other forms of ID. Lastly, the credit card you used to rent the vehicle needs to match the name on your license and passport in order to finalize your car rental. Additional requirements for car rentals in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You must be at least 25 in many states to rent a car, although in some places, the minimum age is 21 years. We recommend checking state and local regulations, as well as with the company you’re renting from before you go to understand all the regulations that may apply to you.
  • Driving limitations: Read the fine print before you drive off so you can avoid unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the U.S, you typically can’t cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, use car ferries or traverse certain types of rugged terrain with your home vehicle. We recommend reading all the rules and regulations before booking!
