Car Rental for Drivers Under 21 in the Bay Area

Rent a Car at 18, 19, or 20 in the Bay Area

You do not have to wait until age 21 or 25 to qualify for a vehicle. Our program is available to eligible drivers beginning at age 18.

Whether you are attending college, moving to the Bay Area for an internship, starting a new job, or staying in Silicon Valley temporarily, our flexible monthly vehicle options provide an alternative to daily rentals, buying a car, or committing to a traditional multi-year lease.

We serve customers throughout Palo Alto, San Jose, Mountain View, Sunnyvale, Santa Clara, San Mateo, Fremont, San Francisco, and surrounding Bay Area communities.

No Young Driver Fee

Many young drivers encounter additional fees simply because of their age. We do not charge a young driver fee.

Drivers under 21 and under 25 receive access to the same flexible leasing model without an added age-based surcharge. Our goal is to make longer-term transportation straightforward for qualified young drivers who need a vehicle in the Bay Area.

Requirements for Drivers Under 21

To qualify, drivers must:

• Have a valid driver's license

• Be at least 18 years old

• Maintain full coverage insurance

• Insure the vehicle under their policy as a leased vehicle

• Complete the required reservation paperwork

• Vehicle reservations remain subject to availability and completion of the required documentation.

Monthly Car Rentals for Students and Interns

Our under-21 vehicle options are especially useful for college students and interns who will be in the Bay Area for several months.

We work with students and university affiliates coming to the region for school, research programs, internships, co-op placements, and other temporary stays. The company specifically serves students, interns, and university affiliates throughout the Bay Area.

For young drivers coming to Silicon Valley for an internship, a flexible monthly vehicle can provide reliable transportation between housing, work, campus, and other destinations without requiring the purchase of a car for a temporary stay.
