How old do you have to be to rent a car in San Clemente?
Drivers with a valid licence aged 21 and above can rent a vehicle in San Clemente. While some companies may be willing to accommodate drivers younger than 21, this will come with additional fees. Find out what ages the young renter fee applies to, and the associated cost, before booking. Outlets also restrict the types of cars available to young drivers. Higher limits are in place for large vehicles like premium SUVs and luxury models.
What do you need to rent a car in San Clemente?
Any rental company you select will ask for these two things — a valid driver's licence and credit card. If you'd like to opt out of the provider's insurance plan, proof of your own coverage may also be needed. Read through your policy so you know what to bring when it's time to collect your car.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in San Clemente?
You can, and the great news is suppliers often offer lower rates the longer your rental term. Discover our long-term car rental deals in San Clemente and hit the road with an unbeatable bargain.
Where can I find a San Clemente car rental if I am younger than 25?
This depends on the rental car companies that are in San Clemente. They often have different policies when it comes to minimum ages. If you've found a supplier that does cater to drivers under 25, be aware that additional costs may apply. Conduct some research into what those charges could be before picking up the keys to your vehicle.
