Compacts, premiums and SUVs are other options to consider.

  • Home to sights galore, Chico is around 50 mi from Cottonwood. First stop on the itinerary? Make a beeline for California State University-Chico, one of the city’s biggest highlights.
  • Brooks, around 110 mi away, also promises a memorable time. Chasing some sightseeing inspiration? Cache Creek Casino Resort is one of our favorite stops.

How old do you have to be to rent a car in Cottonwood?
In Cottonwood, the requirement is 21 and over. Most companies will charge extra fees for young drivers, which can vary based on the rental location. Rental policies for young drivers may include restrictions for certain vehicles, such as large SUVs, and require inclusive insurance to be taken out. Don’t forget to read the fine print carefully before booking your wheels.
What do you need to rent a car in Cottonwood?
Generally, all you’ll need is a current driver’s license and a credit card in the same name when collecting your car. Proof of coverage may also be required if you’d like to opt out of the company’s insurance plan. Rules may differ between rental outlets, so it’s always wise to check the terms and conditions.

Based on prices within the past seven days, you could’ve slid behind the wheel of a rental car for just $4 a day. The second lowest daily rate in Cottonwood was $5.

Where can I find a Cottonwood car rental if I am younger than 25?
Age policies are different between rental suppliers, so you’ll have to do a little shopping around. Found a Cottonwood outlet that does rent to drivers under the age of 25? That’s great! Just bear in mind that an extra charge often applies to drivers between 21 and 24. The fine print of each rental car you’re looking at should have all the details you need.
What insurance should I choose for my car rental in Cottonwood?
A thorough insurance plan is a wise idea for your upcoming Cottonwood adventure. That’s why we recommend purchasing collision protection while reserving your car rental with Expedia. This insures your vehicle against theft, vandalism and accident damage. Some destinations may require you to have a minimum level of liability insurance. This might be included in your rental price or your personal auto insurance, so check what you’re covered for and if you need it.
