While many car classes (like economy and compact) are available to young renters, restrictions generally apply to premium and specialty cars.
What do you need to rent a car in El Centro?
Before you can hit the road in El Centro, you'll need a driver's license and a credit card in the same name. If you decline to take out the rental company's insurance plan, you may also have to show proof of alternative coverage. Requirements may vary, so read the contract terms and conditions before you choose a rental supplier.

Where can I find an El Centro car rental if I am younger than 25?

It'd be smart to understand the terms and conditions of your prospective car company to escape unnecessary costs when picking up your keys.
What insurance should I choose for my car rental in El Centro?
