How old do you have to be to rent a car in Westside Costa Mesa?

Many home suppliers impose what’s known as a young driver surcharge, which is an extra fee to the rental car cost. Restrictions often apply to the classes of cars young motorists can rent as well. Age limits may vary between suppliers, so check before you book.
What do you need to rent a car in Westside Costa Mesa?
The main things are a valid driver’s license and a credit card in the same name. Most car rental companies will offer you insurance, which is optional. But you may be asked to provide proof of alternative coverage if you opt out. Make sure you check with your home agency to avoid any hassles.

Where can I find a Westside Costa Mesa car rental if I am younger than 25?
Some Westside Costa Mesa companies will rent cars to drivers under 25 years old, and others won’t. Policies differ from supplier to supplier, so be prepared to do some research. Also, find out if there are extra costs. Some places will pass on a surcharge to young drivers between the ages of 21 and 24. Make sure you read through the terms and conditions to avoid any surprise fees.
Can I drive in Westside Costa Mesa with my current driver's license?
If you don’t have a driver’s license from the U.S, you may be required to organise an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country before renting a car. 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 form of ID. Lastly, the credit card that was used to rent the vehicle 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 in many states in order to rent a car, although in some places the minimum age is 21. We recommend checking local regulations, as well as the car rental website before your trip to understand all the regulations that may apply to you.
  • Driving limitations: Don’t forget to read the fine print before you drive off so you can avoid unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the U.S, you usually can’t cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, drive on ferries or traverse rough terrain with your rental car. Please read the details before booking!
