Where can I find a Monterey hire car if I am younger than 25?
This depends on the rental companies located in Monterey. They often have different policies when it comes to minimum ages.

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 get an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country before hiring a car in the U.S. If you find that an IDP is required for you 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 identification. Lastly, your credit card used to hire the car must also 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 must be at least 25 in many states in order to hire a car, although in some places, the minimum age is 21 years. We recommend checking local regulations, as well as the car hire website before you book to understand additional terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Read the fine print before you get behind the wheel so you can avoid any unnecessary charges. When hiring a car in the U.S, it's usually prohibited to cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, use car ferries or go off-roading with a hired car. Please read all the rules and regulations before you book!
