Frequently asked questions

What happens if I need to cancel my Monterey car reservation?
We appreciate that flexibility is important. That's why most bookings offer a total refund if cancelled a minimum of six hours ahead of collecting the car. It's still good to read over the rental agreement though as there are some exclusions. If the information isn't there, click on our Customer Service Portal.
What types of cars can I rent in Monterey?
Cost-effective, a dream to handle and good on mileage, it's no coincidence that compact cars are the most sought-after type of rental in Monterey. Tour this city in one of these and you'll be able to slide into tight parking spaces and easily navigate traffic. A compact is perfect for city breaks or short road trips. But they're not your only options. Go even smaller with an economy ride or stretch out in a full-size or premium — there's a style of vehicle to suit you!

How old do you have to be to rent a car in Monterey?
You need to be 21 and over to pick up the keys to a rental vehicle in Monterey. Be aware that young drivers may be restricted to renting from a few car classes, such as compact and economy. Higher age limits usually apply for luxury and specialty vehicles. Most suppliers will also charge an additional fee for young renters.

What do you need to rent a car in Monterey?
Most rental companies will need these two things — your driver's licence and a credit card in your name. If you decide to opt out of the provider's insurance plan, proof of your own coverage may also be needed. Read your policy so you know what to bring when it's time to collect your wheels.

Where can I find a Monterey car rental if I am younger than 25?
If you're a younger driver hoping to book a rental in Monterey, check the terms and conditions of the rental companies you're interested in. Some may rent to drivers under the age of 25, some may not. There may be additional costs if you're aged between 21 and 24. To escape any unwanted surprises at the rental desk, make sure you know if any extra charges apply to you.
