How old do you have to be to rent a car in Palo Alto?
The minimum age is 21. But there are a few age-related rules you should bear in mind before you reserve your wheels in Palo Alto. If you're a younger driver, most rental providers will charge an additional daily fee and limit the types of vehicles you can rent. This size of the surcharge, and which ages it applies to, varies between suppliers. Be sure to compare the requirements.
What do you need to rent a car in Palo Alto?
Any rental company you choose will require two things — your driver's licence and a credit card in your name. If you decide to opt out of the supplier's insurance plan, proof of other coverage will also likely be needed. Read through your policy so you know what to bring when it's time to pick up the keys.

Yes, which means you won't need to rebook a rental vehicle halfway through your vacation. Visit our long-term car rental deals page, enter your travel dates and find a set of wheels that's all yours for the length of your escape.
Where can I find a Palo Alto car rental if I am younger than 25?
This depends on the rental car companies that are in Palo Alto. They often have different age policies. If you've found a place that does cater to drivers under 25 years of age, take note that extra fees may apply. Do some research into what those charges could be before you collect the car.
