How old do you have to be to rent a car in Redwood City?
Anyone with a valid driver's licence 21 and above can rent a car in Redwood City. While some suppliers may be willing to accommodate drivers younger than 21, you can expect extra fees.

Higher age limits apply for specialty and luxury vehicles.
What do you need to rent a car in Redwood City?
Any rental company you select will require two things — a current driver's licence and a credit card in your name. If you want to opt out of the supplier's insurance plan, proof of your own coverage will also likely be needed. Check your policy so you know what to bring when it's time to pick up the keys.

Where can I find a Redwood City car rental if I am younger than 25?
