The main requirements are your driver's licence and a credit card in the same name. Most car rental companies will offer you insurance, which is optional. But you may be asked to provide proof of alternative coverage if you prefer to opt out. We recommend checking your policy terms and conditions to avoid any problems.

Where can I find a Carmel car rental if I am younger than 25?
If you're a younger driver hoping to book a rental in Carmel, you'll need to check the terms and conditions of the rental companies you're interested in. Some may rent to drivers under 25, some may not. There may be additional fees if you're between 21 and 24 years of age. To avoid any nasty surprises at the rental counter, make sure you know what those charges are if they apply to you.
