How old do you have to be to rent a car in Downtown Santa Monica?
Downtown Santa Monica requires drivers to be at least 21 to rent a vehicle. However, young drivers can expect an extra charge and tighter rental conditions. Most companies impose a young renter fee on top of the standard car rental rate. This helps cover the extra risk of accident or damage. While many car classes (like compact and economy) are available to young drivers, restrictions usually apply to specialty and luxury vehicles.
What do you need to rent a car in Downtown Santa Monica?
In most cases, all you'll need is a current driver's license and credit card in your name when collecting the keys to your car. You may also need proof of coverage if you'd like to opt out of the company's insurance policy. Requirements are likely to differ between rental companies, so be sure to check before booking.
What is the cheapest car rental in Downtown Santa Monica?
Based on prices within the past seven days, you could've sat in the driver's seat of your own rental car for just $13 a day. The second lowest daily price on offer in Downtown Santa Monica was $15. 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 Downtown Santa Monica?
Head to our long-term car rental deals page, enter your trip information and then book your perfect ride. Whether you're basing yourself in Downtown Santa Monica or road-tripping about, Expedia will help you find a long-term rental at a fabulous rate.
Where can I find a Downtown Santa Monica car rental if I am younger than 25?
You'll need to investigate the age policy of the Downtown Santa Monica rental providers you're interested in. If you're under 25 years old, some outlets will charge additional costs. It's handy to know this ahead of time so you can plan your budget accordingly. Each rental car company has its own terms and conditions for younger drivers, so it's smart to do your research.
What insurance should I choose for my car rental in Downtown Santa Monica?
Get your road trip off to a good start by purchasing 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 vandalism, accident damage and theft up to $35,000, as well as 24-hour emergency help. Don't wait until you arrive at the rental counter to insure your ride. Opt in to collision protection while reserving your Downtown Santa Monica ride with Expedia and save time and money.
