Where can I find a Bakersfield hire car if I am younger than 25?
Some Bakersfield providers will rent to drivers under 25 years of age, and others won't. Age policies differ between suppliers, so you'll want to do your homework. Also, find out if there are any additional costs. Some businesses will pass on a surcharge to young customers between 21 and 24. Always read through the terms and conditions to avoid any surprise fees.
Can I drive in Bakersfield with my current driver's license?
If you don't possess a driver's license issued in the United States, you may be required to apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your country of residence before hiring a car in the U.S. If you find that an IDP is part of the requirements 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 ID. Lastly, your credit card used to hire the car must also match the name on your driver's license and passport in order to finalize your car hire. Additional requirements for hire cars in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You must be at least 25 in most states to be able to hire a car, although in some areas, 21 years and older is allowed. We recommend checking state and local regulations, as well as the car hire website before you go to understand all the regulations that may apply to you.
  • Driving limitations: Read the fine print before you get behind the wheel so you can avoid any unnecessary fees. When hiring a car in the U.S, it's usually prohibited to cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, use car ferries or traverse certain types of rugged terrain with your hire vehicle. Please read all the rules and regulations before booking!
