The youngest age you can hire a vehicle in San Diego County is 21. A young driver surcharge will apply, so check before you book and factor in possible additional costs. There could also be restrictions on the categories of vehicles available to young drivers. For example, some outlets will only hire out small to medium-sized cars to young motorists. Rules vary between suppliers, so read the fine print.

Two things — your driver’s license and a credit card in your name. Many car rental companies will offer you insurance, which is optional. But you may be asked to provide proof of other coverage if you prefer to opt out. Make sure you check with your rental provider to avoid any issues.
