Frequently asked questions

Can I rent a car from Monterey Peninsula Airport (MRY)?
You can choose from a good range of car rental outlets within a short commute of the airport. Budget, Avis and Alamo are popular with travelers. National Car Rental and Enterprise are a couple of other reliable options.
What happens if I need to cancel my Seaside car reservation?
There are always times when even the best-laid plans go wrong. That's why we offer a full refund on many prepaid rentals if you let us know six hours prior to pickup. Don't forget to double-check your policy — sometimes it's not available. Can't find the details there? Our Customer Service Portal has more useful information.
What types of cars can I rent in Seaside?
Crowded city streets and narrow parking spaces are no match for an economy car — the most sought-after type of rental in Seaside. Slide behind the wheel of one of these and drive around traffic effortlessly. Affordable, reliable and with terrific mileage, these small cars pack plenty of punch. But Seaside can be explored in almost any sort of rental you like. Compact, full-size and premium vehicles are among your options.
Where can I go on a road trip from Seaside?
Seaside is full of fun adventures, but don't limit yourself to just one place. Rent some wheels and hit the road to see what's in the wider area. Here are some great options:

  • You'll find California's Great America and many more interesting sights in Santa Clara. From Seaside, it's around 80 kilometers away.
  • Situated 153 kilometers away, Concord is also popular with wanderers. Allow time to check out Six Flags Hurricane Harbor Concord while you're in town. It's one of the reasons people love this colorful city.
  • Make your way to Glacier Point to feel grounded in nature. Take a picnic to enjoy or just relax in the fresh air. From Seaside, it's around 241 kilometers away.

How old do you have to be to rent a car in Seaside?
Anyone with a valid driver's license 21 and over can rent a car in Seaside. While some outlets may be willing to accommodate drivers younger than 21, prepare for additional fees. Find out what ages the young renter fee applies to, and the cost, before you book. Companies also restrict the types of cars young drivers can rent. Higher age limits apply for large vehicles like premium SUVs and luxury models.
What do you need to rent a car in Seaside?
While terms and conditions can differ between rental car outlets, the two things you'll need are your driver's license and a credit card in your name. You don't need to take out the company's auto insurance. However, proof of your own coverage may be required.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Seaside?
Whether you plan to hang around Seaside or journey beyond, you can book a long-term rental with Expedia. Enter your trip dates and pick-up/drop-off locations and we'll help you find affordable long-term car rental deals.
Where can I find a Seaside car rental if I am younger than 25?
If you're a younger driver hoping to rent a vehicle in Seaside, check the policies of the various rental companies you're interested in. Some may rent to drivers under the age of 25, some may not. There may be extra fees if you're between 21 and 24 years old. To escape any unpleasant surprises on pickup, make sure you know what to expect.
