How old do you have to be to rent a car in Occidental?
You'll need to be 21 and over to slide behind the wheel of a rental vehicle in Occidental. Keep in mind that young drivers may be restricted to renting from a few car classes, such as economy, compact and medium size. Higher age limits generally apply for premium and specialty vehicles. Most companies will also charge a fee for young renters. Read through the rules before hitting the book button and factor any surcharge into your budget.
What do you need to rent a car in Occidental?
Two things — a valid driver's licence and a credit card in your name. Most car rental companies will offer you insurance, which is optional. But you may have to provide proof of other coverage if you choose to opt out. Make sure you check your policy requirements to avoid any issues.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Occidental?
Yes, so there's no need to rebook a rental vehicle in the middle of your holiday. Visit our long-term car rental deals page, enter your travel dates and book a set of wheels that's all yours for the next month or so.
Where can I find an Occidental car rental if I am younger than 25?
You'll need to look up the age policy of the Occidental rental providers you're interested in. If you're under 25 years of age, some outlets will charge extra fees. It's good to know this before collecting the vehicle so you can plan your budget accordingly. Each rental car company has its own terms and conditions for younger drivers, so be sure to do your research.
