How old do you have to be to rent a car in Downtown Los Angeles?
Rental vehicle rules in Downtown Los Angeles require drivers to be 21 and older. Are you a young driver? Some restrictions and surcharges could apply. Most hire providers impose what’s known as a young renter surcharge, which is an extra fee to the hire car cost. Restrictions often apply to the types of cars young drivers can hire as well. Age limits may differ between providers, so check before you book.
What do you need to rent a car in Downtown Los Angeles?
Any rental company you choose will require two things — a current driver’s license and a credit card in your name. If you’d prefer to opt out of the provider’s insurance plan, proof of your own coverage will also likely be needed. Read your policy thoroughly so you know what to bring with you to the hire counter.

Where can I find a Downtown Los Angeles hire car if I am younger than 25?
Some Downtown Los Angeles companies will hire to drivers under 25 years old, and others won’t. Policies differ between suppliers, so you’ll have to do some research. Also, find out if there are any extra costs. Some outlets will have a surcharge for young drivers between the ages of 21 and 24. Be sure to read through the terms and conditions so you know what to expect.
Can I drive in Downtown Los Angeles with my current driver's license?
If you don’t possess a driver’s license from the U.S, you may be required to organise an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your country of residence before starting the car hire process. 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 identification. Lastly, the credit card you used to hire the car must match the name on your driver’s license and passport in order to confirm your hire. Some additional requirements for hiring a car in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You’ll need to be 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, and with the hire car company before you book to understand additional terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Read the fine print before you slide 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 Mexico or Canada, drive onto ferries or traverse off-road areas with a hire car. We recommend reading all the rules and regulations before you book!
