How do I find the best car rental deals in La Jolla with Expedia?
Expedia makes it easy and fast to compare prices, offers and rental companies, and to check reviews. Bundle your La Jolla car rental with hotel or flight bookings and you can make even bigger savings.
How old do you have to be to rent a car in La Jolla?
Anyone with a valid driver's license aged 21 and over can rent a vehicle in La Jolla. While some providers may be willing to rent to drivers younger than 21, this will come with additional fees. Find out what age range the young driver surcharge applies to, and associated costs, before booking. There are also restrictions on the types of cars young drivers can rent. Higher limits are in place for luxury and specialty vehicles.
What do you need to rent a car in La Jolla?
In most cases, all you'll need is a current driver's license and credit card in your name when picking up the keys to your car. Proof of coverage may also be needed if you choose to opt out of the company's insurance policy. These requirements may differ between providers, so it's always wise to check before you book.
What is the cheapest car rental in La Jolla?
We looked into prices over the last seven days and found that the lowest daily rate was $28. The second lowest price to rent a ride in La Jolla was $30 a day. 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 La Jolla?
You can, and the good news is providers often offer lower prices the longer your rental term. Check out our long-term car rental deals in La Jolla and hit the road with a serious bargain.
Where can I find a La Jolla car rental if I am younger than 25?
Renting a vehicle if you are under 25 years old in La Jolla often depends on the rental company you choose. Some places apply a surcharge for customers between 21 and 24 years old, yet others may not apply any extra costs for this age bracket. It'd be wise to understand the terms and conditions of your prospective rental company to avoid any surprise charges on pickup.
What insurance should I choose for my car rental in La Jolla?
Start your road trip the right way by purchasing Expedia's collision 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 24/7 emergency help. Don't wait until you arrive at the rental counter to insure your precious wheels. Opt in to collision protection while reserving your La Jolla ride with Expedia and save money and time.
