How much is a rental car per day in Modesto?

What happens if I need to cancel my Modesto car reservation?
When you cancel at least six hours ahead of the pick-up time, most prepaid hires offer a refund. However, not every one is eligible for this, so it's important to understand the rental policy. Read through your booking for the details or go to our Customer Service Portal to find out more.
What types of cars can I rent in Modesto?

How old do you have to be to hire a car in Modesto?
You need to be at least 21 to get behind the wheel of a rental car in Modesto. Take note that young drivers may only be able to hire from a few car classes, such as compact, economy and medium size. Higher age limits generally apply for luxury and specialty vehicles. Additionally, many companies will charge an additional fee for young renters. Look up the rules before clicking the book button and factor any extra fees into your holiday budget.
What do you need to rent a car in Modesto?
Any rental company you choose will need these two things — your driver's license and a credit card in your name. If you'd like to opt out of the provider's insurance plan, proof of your own coverage will also likely be needed. Read through your policy so you know what to bring when it's time to pick up the keys.

Where can I find a Modesto hire car if I am younger than 25?
You'll need to investigate the age policy of the Modesto rental providers you're interested in. If you're under the age of 25, some will charge extra fees. It's better to know about this in advance so you can budget accordingly. Every rental car company has its own policies for young drivers, so it'd be wise to do your research.
Can I drive in Modesto with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a license from the U.S, you might need to get an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country before hiring a car. If you find that an IDP is part of the requirements to drive in the U.S., know that you'll also have to show your current valid driver's license and your passport or other forms of ID. Lastly, the credit card used to hire the car must match the name on your driver's license and passport in order to confirm your hire. Additional requirements for car hire 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 areas allow drivers as young as 21. We recommend checking state and local regulations, as well as the hire car website before you book to understand all the regulations that may apply to you.
  • Driving limitations: Don't forget to read the fine print before you leave the lot so you can avoid any unnecessary fees. When hiring a car in the United States, you typically can't cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, drive onto ferries or traverse rough terrain with your car hire. Please read all the rules and regulations before booking!
