There are always times when even the best-laid plans go wrong. That's why we offer a full refund on the majority of prepaid bookings if you cancel six hours ahead of picking up the car.

How old do you have to be to rent a car in Lake Forest?
Drivers aged 21 and over can road trip around Lake Forest in a rental car. If you're a young renter, a daily surcharge will apply. You'll usually have fewer car categories to pick from, such as economy and mid-size, and may also be required to purchase an all-inclusive insurance rate. Be sure to enter the correct age of the main driver when booking to learn if any restrictions or extra fees apply.
What do you need to rent a car in Lake Forest?
Before you can hit the road in Lake Forest, you'll need a valid driver's licence and a credit card in the same name. If you prefer not to take out the company's insurance policy, you may also have to provide proof of other coverage. Requirements may vary, so read the policy terms and conditions before you choose a rental company.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Lake Forest?
You can. We partner with trusted suppliers that offer weekly and monthly rentals for all categories of cars. Check out our long-term car rental deals and discover every turn of Lake Forest --- or way beyond!
Where can I find a Lake Forest car rental if I am younger than 25?
Age policies differ between rental suppliers, so you'll have to do a little shopping around. Found a Lake Forest supplier that does rent to drivers under 25 years of age? Awesome! Just be aware that extra fees often apply to drivers aged between 21 and 24. The terms and conditions of each rental car you're considering should have all the information you need.
