  • You'll find Universal Studios Hollywood and many other intriguing attractions in Los Angeles. From Palm Desert, it's roughly 177 kilometres away.

How do I find the best car rental deals in Palm Desert with Expedia?
Score an amazing deal with Expedia. Just choose your preferred ride, select your dates and pickup and drop-off locations, and compare offers from all the top rental brands. Save even more when you bundle your Palm Desert car rental with hotel or flight bookings.
How old do you have to be to rent a car in Palm Desert?
Drivers with a valid licence 21 and above can rent a vehicle in Palm Desert. While some outlets may be willing to rent to drivers younger than 21, they will add on fees. Find out what ages the young driver surcharge applies to, and associated costs, before reserving your ride. Suppliers also restrict the categories of cars available to young drivers. Higher age limits apply for specialty and luxury vehicles.
What do you need to rent a car in Palm Desert?
Most rental companies will require two things — your driver's licence and credit card. If you'd prefer to opt out of the supplier's insurance plan, proof of your own coverage may also be needed. Read your policy thoroughly so you know what to bring when it's time to collect your wheels.
What is the cheapest car rental in Palm Desert?
According to prices found within the past seven days, the lowest daily rate for a rental vehicle in Palm Desert was CA $69. The next best deal was CA $70 a day. These rates were available on Expedia, with a rental starting date within the next year. Prices and availability are subject to change and additional terms apply.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Palm Desert?
Click on our long-term car rental deals page, enter your trip details and then choose a ride that suits. Whether you're staying in Palm Desert or discovering beyond, Expedia will help you find a long-term rental at an amazing rate.
Where can I find a Palm Desert car rental if I am younger than 25?
Age policies are different between rental suppliers, so be prepared to do a little research. Found a Palm Desert outlet that does rent to drivers under the age of 25? That's great! Just be aware that extra fees often apply to drivers between the ages of 21 and 24. The fine print of each rental car you're looking at should have all the details you need.
