Higher age limits apply for specialty and luxury vehicles.
What do you need to hire a car in San Carlos?

Where can I find a San Carlos hire car if I am younger than 25?
Some San Carlos outlets will hire cars to drivers under 25 years of age, and others won't. Age policies differ between suppliers, so you'll need to do your homework. Also, find out if there are any extra costs. Some businesses will have a surcharge for young drivers between 21 and 24. Be sure to read through the terms and conditions to avoid any nasty surprises.
Can I drive in San Carlos with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a driver's license from the United States, you might need to organise an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country before starting the car hire process. 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 form of ID. Lastly, the credit card that was used to hire the vehicle must match the name on your driver's license and passport in order to confirm your hire. Other things you should know about hired a car in the U.S. Are:
- Age restrictions: You'll need to be 25 or older in many states to hire a car, although in some areas, 21 years and older is allowed. We recommend checking state and local regulations, and with the car hire company before you travel to understand additional terms and conditions.
- Driving limitations: Don't forget to read the fine print before you drive off so you can avoid unnecessary fees. When hiring a car in the U.S, you typically can't cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, use car ferries or traverse certain types of rugged terrain with your car hire. Please read all the rules and regulations before booking!
