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

Higher age limits usually apply for premium and specialty vehicles. Additionally, many companies will charge a young renter fee. Read through the rules carefully before clicking the book button and factor any surcharge into your holiday budget.
What do you need to hire a car in Stanford?
Most rental companies will need these two things — your driver’s license and credit card. If you’d like to opt out of the supplier’s insurance plan, proof of your own coverage will also likely be needed. Read your policy thoroughly so you know what to bring with you to the rental counter.

Where can I find a Stanford hire car if I am younger than 25?
This depends on the car hire companies operating in Stanford. They often have different policies when it comes to minimum ages. If you’ve found a place that does cater to drivers under the age of 25, bear in mind that additional costs may apply. Conduct some research into what those charges could be before collecting the vehicle.
Can I drive in Stanford with my current driver's license?
If you don’t possess a driver’s license issued in the United States, you might need to apply for 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 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 driver’s license and passport in order to confirm your hire. Other things you should know about hiring 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 places the minimum age is 21. We recommend checking local rules and regulations, as well as with the company you’re hiring from before you travel to understand all the terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Make sure you read the fine print before you drive off the lot so you can avoid any unnecessary charges. When hiring a car in the United States, it’s usually prohibited to cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, drive on ferries or traverse certain types of rugged terrain with a hired car. Please read the details before booking!
