Whether you can hire a car under the age of 25 in Imperial often depends on the hire supplier you select. Some places apply a surcharge for young drivers between 21 and 24 years old, however other companies may not have any additional costs for this age group. It'd be wise to go through the terms and conditions of your selected car company to escape excessive charges when collecting your car.

Question 12

Can I drive in Imperial with my current driver's license?

Accepted Answer

If you don't possess a driver's license from the United States, you may be required to apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your country of residence before hiring a car. If you find that an IDP is required, know that you'll also have to show your valid driver's license and your passport or other form of ID. Lastly, the credit card you used to hire the vehicle must match the name on your driver's license and passport in order to finalize your car hire. Some additional requirements for hiring a car in the U.S. Are:

Age restrictions: You'll need to be 25 or older in many states in order to hire a car, although in some places the minimum age is 21. We recommend checking local regulations, as well as with the car hire company before you go to understand all the terms and conditions.
Driving limitations: Be sure to read the fine print before you leave the lot so you can avoid unnecessary fees. When hiring a car in the U.S, you usually can't cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, drive on ferries or traverse rough terrain with your hired vehicle. Please read the regulations before you book!
