Rental agreements for young drivers may restrict certain vehicles, such as large cars, and require comprehensive insurance. It's a good idea to read the fine print carefully before booking your ride.
What do you need to hire a car in National City?
A current driver's license and a credit card in the same name are necessities. Don't want to take out the company's insurance plan? Then there's a good chance you'll also need proof of other coverage. Rules may differ between suppliers, so read through your policy.

Where can I find a National City hire car if I am younger than 25?
This depends on the car hire companies that are found in National City. They often have different age policies. If you've found an outlet that does cater to drivers under the age of 25, keep in mind that extra fees may apply. Do some research into any extra charges before picking up the keys to your vehicle.
Can I drive in National City with my current driver's license?
If you don't possess a driver's license from the United States, then you might 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, know that you'll also have to show your current driver's license and your passport or other forms of ID. Lastly, the credit card that was used to hire the car must match the name on your driver's license and passport in order to finalize your car hire. Other things you should know about hiring a car in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You'll 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. We recommend checking local rules and regulations, and with the hire car company before you book to understand additional terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Be sure to read the fine print before you drive off so you can avoid any unnecessary charges. When hiring a car in the U.S, you usually can't cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, drive on ferries or traverse off-road areas with your hired vehicle. Please read the details before you book!
