Frequently asked questions

What happens if I need to cancel my California car reservation?
That won't be a problem. If you cancel your reservation at least six hours prior to picking up the car, you may be eligible for a full refund. You'll want to read the rental policy as there are some exceptions. Click through to our Customer Service Portal for more info.
How do I find the best car rental deals in California with Expedia?
Finding an amazing deal on your California rental car is a cinch with Expedia. Choose your preferred car class, add in a few more details and compare prices across popular brands. Why not add flights and hotels to your booking? You'll unlock terrific discounts when you create a vacation package.
How old do you have to be to rent a car in California?
California rules state drivers must be 21 and over before they can rent a vehicle. However, young drivers can expect an extra cost and some choice restrictions. Many outlets impose a daily young renter fee on top of the standard car rental rate. This helps cover the higher risk of accident or damage. While many car categories (like mid-size and compact) are available to young renters, restrictions usually apply to premium and specialty cars.
What do you need to rent a car in California?
Renting a car in California is a breeze. Normally, all you'll need is your driver's licence and a credit card in the same name. After selecting a great set of wheels, read your policy to ensure there are no additional requirements prior to the pickup date.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in California?
Click through to our long-term car rental deals page, enter your trip information and then secure a ride that suits. Whether you're stopping in California or road-tripping around, Expedia will help you find a long-term rental at a fabulous rate.
Where can I find a California car rental if I am younger than 25?
The ability to rent a vehicle if you are under 25 years old in California often depends on the rental supplier you select. Some businesses have a surcharge for drivers aged between 21 and 24 years, yet others may not apply any additional costs for this age group. It'd be good to understand the terms and conditions of your chosen car company to avoid excessive charges at the rental desk.
