Frequently asked questions

What happens if I need to cancel my California car reservation?
We've all been faced with times when plans get upended. That's why we provide a full refund on the majority of bookings if you advise us six hours ahead of picking up the car. Remember to double-check your cancellation policy — in some cases it's not included. Can't find anything there? Our Customer Service Portal has more useful information.

How do I find the best car rental deals in California with Expedia?
Check out customer reviews and ratings, choose your car class and compare prices from top providers. Expedia makes it easy to find the best deal on your rental wheels. Combine your California car rental with flight or hotel bookings and cruise off with even bigger savings.
What do you need to rent a car in California?
Before you can road trip around California, you'll need a valid driver's license and a credit card in the same name. If you decline to take out the rental company's insurance policy, you may also have to provide proof of other coverage. Requirements can vary, so read the policy terms and conditions before you choose a rental supplier.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in California?
Expedia makes it easy to book a reliable long-term car rental in California. Just click through to our long-term car rental deals page, enter your travel dates and compare your options.
Where can I find a California car rental if I am younger than 25?
This will depend on the car rental companies that are in California. They often have different policies when it comes to minimum ages. If you've found a place that does cater to drivers under 25 years of age, keep in mind that extra costs may apply. Conduct some research into any extra charges before picking up your vehicle.
