Where can I find a Sacramento hire car if I am younger than 25?
This will depend on the car hire companies operating in Sacramento. They often have different age policies. If you’ve found a place that does cater to drivers under the age of 25, keep in mind that additional costs may apply. Do some research into what those charges could be before picking up your vehicle.
Can I drive in Sacramento with my current driver's license?
If you don’t have a license from the U.S, then you may 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 valid driver’s license and your passport or other form of ID. Lastly, the credit card that was used to hire the car must match the name on your license and passport in order to confirm your hire. Additional requirements for hire cars in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You’ll need to be 25 or older in many states in order to hire a car, although in some places the minimum age is 21. We recommend checking local regulations, and with the hire car company before you travel to understand all the regulations that may apply to you.
  • Driving limitations: Make sure you read the fine print before you drive off so you can avoid unnecessary fees. When hiring a car in the United States, you typically can’t cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, use car ferries or traverse rough terrain with your hired vehicle. Please read all the rules and regulations before you book!
