How old do you have to be to rent a car in Califórnia?
Califórnia requires drivers to be 21 and above to rent a car. However, young drivers will be subject to a surcharge and stricter rental conditions. Many outlets impose a daily young renter fee in addition to the normal car rental rate. This helps cover the higher risk of accident or damage. While many car categories (like compact and mid-size) are available to young renters, restrictions generally apply to specialty and luxury vehicles.
What do you need to rent a car in Califórnia?
Two things — your driver's license and a credit card in the same name. Car rental companies will offer you insurance, which is optional. But you may be asked to provide proof of alternative coverage if you choose to opt out. We recommend checking with your rental agency to avoid any hassles.

Where can I find a Califórnia car rental if I am younger than 25?
You'll need to check the age policy of the Califórnia rental suppliers you're considering. If you're under 25 years old, be aware that some will charge extra costs. It's better to know this ahead of time so you can tailor your budget accordingly. Each rental car company has its own policies for young drivers, so do your research.
What insurance should I choose for my car rental in Califórnia?
After carefuly planning your big trip, don't scrimp on safety — choose collision protection while booking your Califórnia rental car with Expedia. There are loads of benefits to this plan, including up to $35,000 in primary coverage for collision damage, theft and vandalism. Plus, with no deductible and 24-hour emergency help, you can breathe a little easier if the unexpected occurs.
Can I drive in Califórnia with my current driver's license?
If you don't hold a driver's license issued in Brazil, then it's likely you'll need to get an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your place of residence to be allowed to rent a car. You should also be aware that if you do need an IDP, it has no validity on its own. You'll be asked to show your current license your passport and other forms of identification as well. Lastly, it's important that the credit card used to book the rental matches the name on your driver's license and passport. Some other things to note to rent a car internationally are:

  • Age restrictions: You need to be 25 or older in most places to rent a car. If you're younger, it may still be possible to rent a car but you'll have to pay a Young Driver's Surcharge. Additional restrictions may also apply to what kinds of cars you can rent.
  • Driving limitations: Be sure to read the fine print before driving away. Usually, you can't cross country borders, drive on ferries or go off-roading with a rental vehicle.
