How old do you have to be to hire a car in Sacramento?
Rental car rules in Sacramento require drivers to be 21 and over. Are you a younger driver? Some surcharges and restrictions may apply. Hire companies impose what is known as a young renter surcharge, which is an additional fee to the hire car cost. Restrictions usually apply to the categories of cars young drivers can rent as well. Age limits may vary between companies, so check before you book.
What do you need to rent a car in Sacramento?
You'll need to present a valid driver's license and a credit card in your name at the hire counter. Prior to pick-up, check with your selected company whether other documentation is needed. For example, you may also need to show proof of insurance.

Where can I find a Sacramento hire car if I am younger than 25?
This will depend on the car hire companies operating in Sacramento. They often have different age policies. If you've found a place that does cater to drivers under the age of 25, keep in mind that additional costs may apply. Do some research into what those charges could be before picking up your vehicle.
Can I drive in Sacramento with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a license from the U.S, then you may need to get 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 required, note that you'll also need to show your valid driver's license and your passport or other form of ID. Lastly, the credit card that was used to hire the car must match the name on your license and passport in order to confirm your hire. Additional requirements for hire cars in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You'll need to be 25 or older in many states in order to hire a car, although in some places the minimum age is 21. We recommend checking local regulations, and with the hire car company before you travel to understand all the regulations that may apply to you.
  • Driving limitations: Make sure you read the fine print before you drive off so you can 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 rough terrain with your hired vehicle. Please read all the rules and regulations before you book!
