San Diego County rules state drivers must be 21 and over to rent a car. However, young drivers will be subject to an extra charge and some restrictions on choice. Most companies impose a young renter fee in addition to the car rental rate. This helps cover the higher risk of damage or accident. While many car categories (like mid-size and compact) are available to young motorists, restrictions usually apply to specialty cars.

You’ll need to present your driver’s license and a credit card in your name when you get to the rental counter. Prior to the pickup date, check with your selected company whether anything else is needed. For example, you may also need to provide proof of insurance.
