Where can I find a La Jolla hire car if I am younger than 25?
If you’re a young driver looking for a rental in La Jolla, we suggest reading the policies of the various rental companies you’re interested in. Some may rent to drivers under the age of 25, some may not. There may be surcharges if you’re aged between 21 and 24. To avoid any surprises at the rental counter, make sure you know what to expect.
Can I drive in La Jolla with my current driver's license?
If you don’t possess a driver’s license issued in the United States, then you may need to apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your country of residence before starting the car hire process. 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 needs to match the name on your license and passport in order to finalize your car hire. Additional requirements for hire cars in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You’ll need to be 25 in most states to be able to hire a car, although in some places, the minimum age is 21 years. We recommend checking local rules and regulations, as well as with the car hire company before your trip to understand additional terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Read the fine print before you slide behind the wheel so you can avoid any unnecessary fees. When hiring a car in the U.S, you usually can’t cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, drive onto ferries or traverse certain types of rugged terrain with your hired car. Please read all the rules and regulations before you book!
