Whether or not you can hire a car under the age of 25 in Monterey often depends on the rental company you select.

Be sure to understand the terms and conditions of your selected rental dealer to escape excessive charges at the rental desk.

Question 11

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

Accepted Answer

If you don't have a driver's license issued in the United States, then you may need to organise 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, know 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 vehicle 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 need to be 25 or older in many states in order 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 all the terms and conditions.
Driving limitations: Be sure to read the fine print before you drive off so you can avoid unnecessary fees. When hiring a car in the U.S, it's usually prohibited to cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, drive on ferries or traverse rough terrain with a hire car. Please read the regulations before you book!
