How old do you have to be to hire a car in Downtown Monterey?
Hire vehicle rules in Downtown Monterey require drivers to be 21 and over. Are you a young driver? Some restrictions and surcharges may apply. Hire companies impose what's known as a young renter surcharge, which is an extra fee to the car hire cost. Restrictions usually apply to the categories of cars available to young people as well. Age limits may differ between companies, so check before booking.
What do you need to hire a car in Downtown Monterey?
The main things are your driver's license and a credit card in your name. Many car hire companies will offer you insurance, which is optional. But you may have to provide proof of other coverage if you prefer to opt out. We recommend checking your policy requirements to avoid any hassles.

Where can I find a Downtown Monterey hire car if I am younger than 25?
Some Downtown Monterey outlets will hire to drivers under 25, and others won't. Age policies differ from supplier to supplier, so you'll need to do some research. Also, find out if there are additional costs. Some businesses will pass on a surcharge to customers between 21 and 24. Be sure to read through the terms and conditions so you know what to expect.
Can I drive in Downtown Monterey with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a license from the United States, then you may need to organise an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country before hiring a car. If you find that an IDP is required, note that you'll also need to show your current valid driver's license and your passport or other form of ID. Lastly, the credit card used to hire the vehicle must 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 need to be 25 or older in many states in order to hire a car, although in some areas, 21 years and older is allowed. We recommend checking local regulations, as well as with the company you're hiring from before you travel to understand all the terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Make sure you read the fine print before you slide behind the wheel so you can avoid any unnecessary fees. When hiring a car in the United States, you usually can't cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, drive on ferries or go off-roading with your hire car. Please read the regulations before booking!
