You need to be 21 and over to take the wheel of a rental car in Bay Area. Keep in mind that young drivers may only be able to rent from a few car categories, such as economy, compact and medium size. Higher age limits generally apply for specialty and luxury vehicles. Many companies will also charge a young renter fee. Read the rules carefully before clicking the book button and factor any surcharge into your budget.
What do you need to rent a car in Bay Area?
You'll need to present your driver's licence and a credit card in your name when you get to the rental counter. Before pickup, check with your chosen rental company whether other documentation is needed. For example, you may also need to show proof of insurance.

Where can I find a Bay Area car rental if I am younger than 25?
You'll need to investigate the age policy of the Bay Area rental providers you're interested in. If you're under 25 years of age, some will charge additional costs. It's useful to know this before collecting the vehicle so you can tailor your budget accordingly. Every rental car company has its own policies for young drivers, so it'd be wise to do your research.
