The ability to hire a car under the age of 25 in San Carlos often depends on the rental company you select. Some businesses have a surcharge for young customers between 21 and 24 years of age, but others may not apply any additional costs for this age group. Be sure to understand the terms and conditions of your selected rental dealer to avoid extra charges when collecting your car.
Can I drive in San Carlos with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a driver's license from the U.S, you might need to organise 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 part of the requirements to drive in the U.S., note that you'll also need to show your current driver's license and your passport or other form of ID. Lastly, the credit card used to hire the car must match the name on your 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 to hire a car, although in some areas allow drivers as young as 21. We recommend checking local rules and regulations, as well as with the company you're hiring from before you go to understand all the terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Be sure to read the fine print before you drive off the lot so you can avoid any unnecessary charges. When hiring a car in the U.S, it's usually prohibited to cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, drive onto ferries or go off-roading with a hired car. Please read all the rules and regulations before you book!
