How old do you have to be to rent a car in Downtown Santa Monica?

While many car classes (like compact and economy) are available to young drivers, restrictions usually apply to specialty and luxury vehicles.
What do you need to rent a car in Downtown Santa Monica?
In most cases, all you'll need is a current driver's licence and credit card in your name when collecting the keys to your car. You may also need proof of coverage if you'd like to opt out of the company's insurance policy. Requirements are likely to differ between rental companies, so be sure to check before booking.

Where can I find a Downtown Santa Monica car rental if I am younger than 25?
You'll need to investigate the age policy of the Downtown Santa Monica rental providers you're interested in. If you're under 25 years old, some outlets will charge additional costs. It's handy to know this ahead of time so you can plan your budget accordingly. Each rental car company has its own terms and conditions for younger drivers, so it's smart to do your research.
