How old do you have to be to rent a car in Chico?
Chico rules state drivers must be 21 and over before they can rent a car. However, young drivers can expect an extra charge and tighter rental conditions. Most providers impose a daily young renter fee in addition to the standard car rental rate. This helps cover the higher risk of damage or accident. While many car classes (like economy and compact) are available to young motorists, restrictions usually apply to luxury cars.
What do you need to rent a car in Chico?
Be prepared to present a valid driver's license and a credit card in your name when you get to the rental counter. Prior to the pickup date, check with your chosen rental company whether anything else is needed. For example, you may also need to show proof of auto insurance.
What is the cheapest car rental in Chico?
Chico has no doubt had some very happy rental car customers lately. The cheapest daily rates recorded within the past seven days were $36 and $37.

Where can I find a Chico car rental if I am younger than 25?
This will depend on the car rental companies that operate in Chico. They often have different policies when it comes to minimum ages. If you've found a place that does cater to drivers under the age of 25, bear in mind that additional fees may apply. Do some research into any extra charges before collecting the vehicle.
What insurance should I choose for my car rental in Chico?
A thorough insurance policy is a good idea for your upcoming Chico trip. That's why we recommend opting in to collision protection while booking your rental car with Expedia. This covers your vehicle from theft, vandalism and collision damage. Some destinations may require you to have a minimum level of liability insurance. It's possible that this is included in your rental cost or your personal auto insurance, so check what you're covered for and if you need it.
