Where can I find a Santa Monica car rental if I am younger than 25?
This will depend on the rental companies that are found in Santa Monica. They often have different policies when it comes to minimum ages. If you've found a place that does cater to drivers under 25 years of age, take note that additional fees may apply. Conduct some research into any extra charges before booking your rental.
