How old do you have to be to rent a car in Carmel?
Carmel requires drivers to be 21 and over to be able to rent a car. However, young drivers will be subject to an extra charge and stricter rental conditions. Many outlets impose a young renter fee in addition to the standard car rental rate. This covers the extra risk of accident or damage. While many car classes (like economy and compact) are available to young motorists, restrictions usually apply to luxury cars.
What do you need to rent a car in Carmel?
Before you can hit the road in Carmel, you'll need a driver's licence and a credit card that matches the name on your licence. If you prefer not to take out the rental company's insurance plan, you may also have to show proof of your own coverage. Requirements may vary, so read the policy terms and conditions before you select a rental provider.
What is the cheapest car rental in Carmel?
We looked into prices over the last seven days and found that the lowest daily rate was CA $101. The next best price for rental vehicles in Carmel was CA $109 a day. These rates were available on Expedia, with a rental starting date within the next year. Prices and availability are subject to change and additional terms apply.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Carmel?
Whether you're planning to hang around Carmel or explore beyond, it's easy to book a long-term rental with Expedia. Enter your trip dates and pick-up/drop-off locations and we'll find you fantastic long-term car rental deals.
Where can I find a Carmel car rental if I am younger than 25?
Renting a vehicle if you are under 25 years old in Carmel often depends on the rental company you choose. Some outlets have a surcharge for young drivers between 21 and 24 years old, whereas others may not apply any extra fees for this age bracket. It'd be wise to go through the terms and conditions of your preferred car rental dealer to avoid unnecessary costs at the rental desk.
