What types of cars can I rent in Monterey?
Bustling city streets and tight parking spaces are no sweat for an economy car — the most commonly booked type of rental in Monterey. Slide behind the wheel of one of these and manoeuvre around traffic easily. Reliable, affordable and good on gas, these small rides pack plenty of punch. But Monterey can be explored in almost any type of rental you like. Compacts, premiums and SUVs are some other options to choose from.

There are lots of things to see and do in Monterey, but venture further afield and you'll find more sightseeing magic. Rent a set of wheels and you can wander around the surrounding area at your own pace. Add these fantastic drives to your itinerary:
  • Santa Clara is around 80 kilometres from Monterey. Famous tourist spots like California's Great America deserve to be at the top of your list while you're in town.
  • Your next stop? It has to be Concord, which is around 153 kilometres away. Six Flags Hurricane Harbour Concord is one local draw card you won't want to miss.

What do you need to rent a car in Monterey?
A valid driver's licence and a credit card in the same name are necessities. Opting out of the company's insurance plan? In that case, you're also likely to need proof of other coverage. Rules can differ between rental suppliers, so be sure to read through your policy.

Where can I find a Monterey car rental if I am younger than 25?
Whether or not you can rent a car if you're under 25 years in Monterey often depends on the rental supplier you choose.
