Frequently asked questions

What happens if I need to cancel my California car reservation?
No need to stress. You should be eligible for a full refund if you advise us more than six hours before the scheduled pickup time. Your itinerary contains details about this, and so does our Customer Service Portal. Not all reservations result in a refund though, so you may want to go over your policy.
Why should I rent a California car with Expedia?
Expedia is the ideal place to book your rental car. With suppliers in California to select from, we search high and low to get you incredible deals. Score savings with our member prices and exclusive offers, and earn rewards every time you book. Save even more when you combine your bookings into a California vacation package. Car rentals, hotels, flights, tours — Expedia has everything you need in one place.
How do I find the best car rental deals in California with Expedia?
Expedia makes it a breeze to compare fees, offers and rental companies, and to check customer reviews. Combine your California car rental with hotel or flight bookings to make even bigger savings.
What do you need to rent a car in California?
Generally, all you'll need is a valid driver's license and credit card in your name when collecting the vehicle. Proof of coverage may also be required if you choose to opt out of the company's insurance policy. Requirements are likely to differ between providers, so it's always a good idea to check before you book.
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 details and then choose a ride that suits. Whether you're basing yourself in California or road-tripping around, Expedia will help you find a long-term rental at an awesome rate.
Where can I find a California car rental if I am younger than 25?
Renting a vehicle under the age of 25 in California often depends on the rental supplier you choose. Some outlets have a surcharge for customers between 21 and 24 years old, whereas other companies may not apply any extra fees for this age bracket. It'd be wise to go through the terms and conditions of your prospective rental dealer to avoid excessive charges at the rental desk.
