What types of cars can I rent in Monterey?
Economical, easy to operate and fuel-efficient, it's little wonder compact vehicles are the most booked rental type in Monterey. Tour this city in one of these and you'll be able to park in tight spaces and easily get around busy streets. A compact is ideal for city breaks or shorter road trips. But they're not your only options. Go even smaller with an economy model or bigger with an intermediate, a full-size or premium — the choice is yours!

How old do you have to be to rent a car in Monterey?
Monterey rules state drivers must be at least 21 to be able to rent a vehicle. However, young drivers can expect an extra cost and some restrictions. Many companies impose a young renter fee on top of the normal car rental rate. This covers the extra risk of damage or accident. While many car classes (like compact and mid-size) are available to young motorists, restrictions generally apply to luxury and specialty vehicles.
What do you need to rent a car in Monterey?
A current driver's licence and a credit card in the same name are necessities. Opting out of the company's insurance plan? In that case, you may also require proof of your own coverage. Rules can differ between providers, so have a thorough read of your policy.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Monterey?
Yes, so there's no need to rebook a rental car in the middle of your holiday. Go to our long-term car rental deals page, enter your trip information and secure a set of wheels that's all yours for the length of your escape.
Where can I find a Monterey car rental if I am younger than 25?
Age policies differ between rental suppliers, so you'll have to do a bit of homework. Managed to find a Monterey supplier that does rent to drivers under 25? Great news! Just keep in mind that some companies charge additional fees to drivers between the ages of 21 and 24. The fine print of each rental car you're considering should have all the details you need.
