How old do you have to be to rent a car in Yosemite National Park?
The minimum age to rent a car in Yosemite National Park is 21. A young driver surcharge generally applies, so check before booking and take into account any additional costs. There could also be restrictions on the types of vehicles that can be rented by young drivers. For example, some outlets will only rent out economy, compact and medium-sized cars to less-experienced motorists. Rules may differ between outlets, so be sure to read the fine print.
What do you need to rent a car in Yosemite National Park?
While rules may differ between outlets, generally the essentials are your driver’s license and a credit card in your name. You don’t need to take out the company’s auto insurance. However, proof of your own coverage may be required.

Where can I find a Yosemite National Park car rental if I am younger than 25?
You’ll need to look up the age policy of the Yosemite National Park holiday home suppliers you’re considering. If you’re under 25 years old, be aware that some will charge extra fees. It’s better to know about this before arriving at the desk so you can have the funds ready. Every holiday home car company has its own policies for young drivers, so be sure to do your research.
Can I drive in Yosemite National Park with my current driver's license?
If you don’t possess a driver’s license issued in the U.S, then you may need to apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your country of residence before renting a car. If you find that an IDP is required for you 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, the credit card you used to rent the vehicle must also match the name on your driver’s license and passport in order to confirm your home. Additional requirements for car rentals in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You must be at least 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 you go to understand additional terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Read the fine print before you slide behind the wheel to avoid unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the U.S, you typically can’t cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, drive onto ferries or go off-roading with your home. We recommend reading all the rules and regulations before you book!
