Where can I find a San Carlos car rental if I am younger than 25?

It's best to know this ahead of time so you can plan your budget accordingly. Each rental car company has its own rules for younger drivers, so do your research.
What insurance should I choose for my car rental in San Carlos?
For a stress-free getaway, add Expedia's collision damage protection to your car rental reservation. This insurance covers your vehicle against collision damage, theft and vandalism. It also offers customers round-the-clock emergency help in times of need. Opt in to this insurance while finalizing your San Carlos ride with Expedia and save time and money at the rental counter.
Can I drive in San Carlos with my current driver's license?
If you don't hold a driver's license issued in Nicaragua, then you might need to apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country in order to rent a car. You should also be aware that if an IDP is required, it won't be valid on its own. You'll be asked to show your current license your passport and other forms of ID as well. Lastly, make sure the credit card used to book the rental vehicle matches the name on your license and passport. Some other things to note for international car rentals are:

  • Age restrictions: You need to be 25 or over in many countries 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 the types of cars you can rent.
  • Driving limitations: Be sure to read the rules and regulations before getting behind the wheel. Usually, you can't cross country borders, drive onto ferries or on certain types of rugged terrain with a rental car.
