Where can I go on a road trip from Monterey?
There's heaps to do in Monterey, but head further afield and you'll find more sightseeing magic. Organise a set of wheels and you can cruise around the greater area at your own speed. Add these fantastic destinations to your list:

  • You'll discover Roger Williams Park Zoo and countless other amazing sights in Providence. From Monterey, it's approximately 153 kilometres away.

How old do you have to be to rent a car in Monterey?
In most cases, you need to be 21 years and over in Monterey. You should be aware that most outlets will apply a young renter surcharge. Check before you sign up, as rules may differ between rental car providers. Bear in mind that if you're planning to rent a luxury vehicle or a larger car like an SUV, rules may require drivers to be older than 21.
What do you need to rent a car in Monterey?
Most rental companies will need these two things — a current driver's licence and credit card. If you want to opt out of the supplier's insurance plan, proof of your own coverage may also be needed. Read your policy so you know what to bring with you to the rental counter.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Monterey?
Whether you plan to stick around Monterey or explore beyond, it's easy to book a long-term rental with Expedia. Enter your trip dates and pick-up/drop-off locations and we'll find you amazing long-term car rental deals.
Where can I find a Monterey car rental if I am younger than 25?
Whether you can rent a vehicle if you are under 25 years old in Monterey often depends on the rental supplier you choose. Some places have a surcharge for customers aged between 21 and 24 years, but other companies may not have any extra costs for this age group. Be sure to go through the terms and conditions of your chosen car rental dealer to avoid excessive charges at the rental desk.
