So, You Wanna Drive a Big Truck?
Let’s talk about something really exciting: renting a U-Haul. Not the most thrilling topic, I know, but stick with me. This could be a game-changer for your life, or at least your moving day.
Age Ain’t Nothing But a Number (Unless You’re Renting a U-Haul)
So, you’re all ready to conquer the world, or at least move across town, and you’re wondering, “How old do I have to be to rent a U-Haul in California?” Well, let's clear this up right now.
You gotta be 18 years old.
That’s right, folks. No more pretending to be older than you are. No more borrowing your big sister's ID. U-Haul ain’t messing around. They want to make sure you're mature enough to handle a vehicle that’s basically a small house on wheels.
But Wait, There’s More!
Now, just because you're 18 doesn't mean you're automatically qualified for a U-Haul road trip. You'll need a valid driver's license, too. And don't even think about trying to use your learner's permit. U-Haul isn't a driving school.
Pro Tips for the Aspiring U-Haul Driver
- Practice makes perfect: Before you hit the open road, try parallel parking a bus. Just kidding (kind of). But seriously, get comfortable driving a larger vehicle.
- Pack smart: Don't overload that baby. Remember, you're not moving a mountain.
- Buckle up: It’s the law, people! And for good reason.

- How to rent a U-Haul at 18? Be 18, have a valid driver's license, and be ready to show some ID.
