How old do you have to be to rent a car in Monterey?
If you're 21 and over, you can rent a vehicle in Monterey. Be aware that rental companies will charge an additional fee if you're a young driver, which helps cover the higher damage or accident risk involved. Also, young motorists usually aren't permitted to rent luxury or specialty vehicles. Thoroughly read the fine print before you book to avoid any surprises when you pick up the keys.
What do you need to rent a car in Monterey?
A valid driver's license and a credit card in the same name are necessities. Opting out of the company's insurance plan? In that case, you're also likely to need proof of other coverage. Rules can differ between rental suppliers, so be sure to read through your policy.
What is the cheapest car rental in Monterey?
The two cheapest daily rates recorded in Monterey within the past seven days were $32 and $35. Now that's what we'd call an awesome deal!

Where can I find a Monterey car rental if I am younger than 25?
Whether or not you can rent a car if you're under 25 years in Monterey often depends on the rental supplier you choose. Some outlets have a surcharge for young drivers between 21 and 24 years of age, however others may not have any extra costs for this age group. It'd be smart to understand the terms and conditions of your chosen car company to escape extra costs at the rental desk.
What insurance should I choose for my car rental in Monterey?
A comprehensive insurance policy is a wise idea for your Monterey getaway. That's why we suggest opting in to collision protection while reserving your rental car with Expedia. This insures your vehicle against theft, accident damage and vandalism. Some destinations may also require a minimum level of liability insurance. This may already be included in your rental price or your personal auto insurance, so check what you're covered for and if you need it.
