How do I find the best car rental deals in Bakersfield with Expedia?
Whatever kind of wheels you're after, Expedia will help you find the best deal. Simply compare offers from reliable rental suppliers and book the option that suits you. Like to drive away with even bigger savings? Combine your Bakersfield car rental with flight or hotel bookings.
How old do you have to be to rent a car in Bakersfield?
Anyone with a valid driver's license 21 and over can rent a car in Bakersfield. While some providers may be willing to accommodate drivers younger than 21, you can expect additional fees. Find out what ages the young renter fee applies to, and the associated cost, before making your reservation. Suppliers also restrict the categories of cars available to young drivers. Higher age limits apply for specialty and luxury vehicles.
What do you need to rent a car in Bakersfield?
Generally, all you'll need is a current driver's license and credit card in your name when collecting your vehicle. Proof of coverage may also be needed if you decide to opt out of the company's insurance plan. Requirements are likely to differ between rental providers, so it's a good idea to check the terms and conditions.
What is the cheapest car rental in Bakersfield?
$45 and $50 were the two lowest daily rates for rental vehicles in Bakersfield within the past seven days. These rates were available on Expedia, with a rental starting date within the next year. Prices and availability are subject to change and additional terms apply.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Bakersfield?
Yes, and the wonderful news is suppliers often offer lower rates the longer you rent. Discover our long-term car rental deals in Bakersfield and drive off with an incredible bargain.
Where can I find a Bakersfield car rental if I am younger than 25?
You'll need to look up the age policy of the Bakersfield rental providers you're considering. If you're under 25 years of age, some companies will charge extra fees. It's better to know about this before collecting the vehicle so you can have the funds ready. Every rental car company has its own policies for younger drivers, so it pays to do your research.
What insurance should I choose for my car rental in Bakersfield?
Start your road trip right by choosing Expedia's collision damage protection. While there are all kinds of rental car insurance, this is one you'll need to have. It provides primary coverage for theft, vandalism and collision damage up to $35,000, as well as 24-hour emergency support. Don't wait until you get to the rental counter to insure your wheels. Opt in to collision protection while reserving your Bakersfield ride with Expedia and save money and time.
