Good news! You should be eligible for a total refund if you notify us more than six hours ahead of pick-up. Your confirmation contains information about this, and so does our Customer Service Portal.

Question 7

How old do you have to be to hire a car in Sonoma?

Accepted Answer

Rental vehicle rules in Sonoma require drivers to be 21 and over. Are you a young driver? A few surcharges and restrictions could apply. Most rental providers impose what's known as a young renter surcharge, which is an extra fee to the car hire cost. Restrictions generally apply to the types of cars young motorists can rent as well. Age limits may differ between outlets, so check before booking.

Question 8

What do you need to hire a car in Sonoma?

Accepted Answer

You'll generally require a driver's license and a credit card in the same name when collecting the keys to your car. You may also need proof of coverage if you'd prefer to opt out of the company's insurance policy. These requirements often differ between rental outlets, so it's always wise to check before booking.

Question 11

Where can I find a Sonoma hire car if I am younger than 25?

Accepted Answer

This depends on the car hire companies operating in Sonoma. They often have different policies when it comes to minimum ages. If you've found an outlet that does cater to drivers under the age of 25, take note that extra costs may apply. Do some research into any extra charges before booking your rental.

Question 12

Can I drive in Sonoma with my current driver's license?

Accepted Answer

If you don't have a driver's license from the United States, then you might 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 current driver's license and your passport or other forms of ID. Lastly, the credit card used to hire the vehicle must match the name on your license and passport in order to finalize your car hire. Other things you should know about hired a car in the U.S. Are:

Age restrictions: You need to be 25 or older in most states to be able to hire a car, although in some areas, 21 years and older is allowed. We recommend checking state and local regulations, as well as the hire car website before you travel to understand all the regulations that may apply to you.
Driving limitations: Be sure to read the fine print before you drive off the lot to avoid unnecessary fees. When hiring a car in the United States, it's usually prohibited to cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, drive on ferries or traverse certain types of rugged terrain with your car hire. Please read the details before you book!
