How old do you have to be to hire a car in Monterey?

Find out what age range the young driver surcharge applies to, and the cost, before making your reservation. Providers also restrict the categories of cars available to young drivers. Higher age limits apply for specialty and luxury vehicles.
What do you need to rent a car in Monterey?
Any rental company you select will require two things — a valid driver’s license and credit card. If you choose to opt out of the provider’s insurance plan, proof of other coverage may also be needed. Read your policy so you know what to bring with you to the hire counter.

Can I hire a car for a month or longer in Monterey?
Yes, so you won’t need to rebook a rental vehicle in the middle of your holiday. Check out our long-term car hire deals page, enter your trip details and secure a ride to call your own for however long you need.
Where can I find a Monterey hire car if I am younger than 25?
Whether or not you can rent a vehicle if you are under 25 years old in Monterey often depends on the hire provider you choose. Some outlets apply a surcharge for customers aged between 21 and 24 years, however others may not have any extra costs for this age range. Be sure to go through the terms and conditions of your selected rental company to escape extra charges when picking up your keys.
Can I drive in Monterey with my current driver's license?
If you don’t have a license issued in the U.S, then you may need to organise 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, the credit card that was used to hire the vehicle needs to match the name on your license and passport in order to confirm your hire. Additional requirements for car hire in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You need to be 25 or older in most states to be able to hire a car, although in some places, the minimum age is 21 years. We recommend checking state and local regulations, as well as the hire car website before your trip to understand additional terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Don’t forget to read the fine print before you get behind the wheel so you can avoid any unnecessary charges. 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 a hire car. Please read the regulations before booking!
