What do you need to rent a car in Southern California?
The main requirements are a valid driver's license and a credit card in your name. Many car rental companies will offer you insurance, which is optional. But you may have to provide proof of alternative coverage if you opt out. Be sure to check your policy requirements to avoid any problems.

Where can I find a Southern California car rental if I am younger than 25?
You'll need to check the age policy of the Southern California rental suppliers you're considering. If you're under 25 years of age, some outlets will charge extra fees. It's ideal to know this before collecting the vehicle so you can budget accordingly. Each rental car company has its own policies for younger drivers, so it's smart to do your research.
