What happens if I need to cancel my Malibu car reservation?

What types of cars can I rent in Malibu?
Bustling city streets and narrow parking spots are no hassle for an economy car — the most in-demand type of rental in Malibu. Get behind the wheel of one of these and get around traffic easily. Reliable, affordable and good on gas, these small rides pack plenty of punch. But Malibu can be explored in almost any type of rental you like. Compacts, premiums and SUVs are some other options to choose from.

There's heaps to do in Malibu, but venture farther 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 destinations to your to-do list:

  • Make tracks to Santa Ana for a fun-filled sightseeing adventure. Roughly 80 kilometres from Malibu, it's home to loads of amazing attractions, including Santa Ana Zoo.

How old do you have to be to rent a car in Malibu?
You need to be at least 21. But there are several age-related rules you should know about before locking in your wheels in Malibu. If you're a younger motorist, many rental providers will charge an additional daily fee and limit the types of vehicles you can rent. The surcharge, and which ages it applies to, varies between suppliers. Take your time to compare the rules.
What do you need to rent a car in Malibu?
Any rental company you select will ask for these two things — your driver's licence and a credit card in your name. If you'd like to opt out of the provider's insurance plan, proof of other coverage will also likely be needed. Read through your policy so you know what to bring when it's time to pick up the keys.

Where can I find a Malibu car rental if I am younger than 25?
You'll need to look up the age policy of the Malibu rental providers you're considering. If you're under the age of 25, be mindful that some will charge extra fees. It's good to know this in advance so you can plan your budget accordingly. Each rental car company has its own rules for younger drivers, so do your research.
