What do you need to rent a car in Pajaro Dunes?
Before you can get behind the wheel in Pajaro Dunes, you'll need a valid driver's licence and a credit card.

Where can I find a Pajaro Dunes car rental if I am younger than 25?
You'll need to investigate the age policy of the Pajaro Dunes rental providers you're interested in. If you're under 25 years old, some outlets will charge extra costs. It's useful to know about this in advance so you can plan your budget accordingly. Every rental car company has its own terms and conditions for young drivers, so be sure to do your research.
