Where can I find a Petaluma hire car if I am younger than 25?
Hiring a vehicle if you are under 25 in Petaluma often depends on the hire provider you choose. Some outlets apply a surcharge for drivers aged between 21 and 24 years, but others may not have any extra fees for this age group. Ensure you go through the terms and conditions of your selected rental company to avoid any surprise charges on pick-up.
Can I drive in Petaluma with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a license from the United States, you may be required 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 current driver's license and your passport or other forms of identification. Lastly, the credit card that was used to hire the car must match the name on your license and passport in order to finalize your car hire. Some additional requirements for hiring a car 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 local regulations, as well as with the hired car company before you book to understand additional terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Read the fine print before you drive off the lot to avoid unnecessary fees. When hiring a car in the United States, you typically can't cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, use car ferries or traverse certain types of rugged terrain with your hire car. Please read all the rules and regulations before booking!
