Where can I find a Dana Point car rental if I am younger than 25?
Age policies are different between rental suppliers, so you'll have to do some research. Found a Dana Point outlet that does rent to drivers under the age of 25? Terrific! Just be aware that some companies charge extra fees to drivers between 21 and 24. The fine print of each rental car you're looking at should have all the information you need.
