How do I find the best car rental deals in Del Mar with Expedia?
Expedia makes it a cinch to compare prices, offers and rental providers, and to check customer recommendations. Bundle your Del Mar 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 Del Mar?
Generally, the rules are 21 years of age and over in Del Mar. It's worth noting that most companies will apply a young renter surcharge. Read the fine print before you sign up, as different rules may apply between rental car suppliers. Bear in mind that if you want to rent a luxury ride or a large car like an SUV, you may need to be older than 21.
What do you need to rent a car in Del Mar?
Two things — your driver's license and a credit card in the same name. Many car rental companies will offer you insurance, which is optional. But you may be asked to provide proof of other coverage if you opt out. We recommend checking with your rental provider to avoid any hassles.
What is the cheapest car rental in Del Mar?
According to prices found within the past seven days, the lowest daily rate for a rental car in Del Mar was $35. The second lowest was $36 per 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 Del Mar?
You can, and the wonderful news is suppliers often offer lower rates the longer you rent. Look through our long-term car rental deals in Del Mar and hit the road with an amazing bargain.
Where can I find a Del Mar car rental if I am younger than 25?
You'll need to look up the age policy of the Del Mar rental providers you're interested in. If you're under 25 years of age, some companies will charge extra costs. It's ideal to know about this ahead of time so you can tailor your budget accordingly. Each rental car company has its own rules for young drivers, so it pays to do your research.
What insurance should I choose for my car rental in Del Mar?
For a smooth, stress-free trip, add Expedia's collision damage protection while booking your rental car. This insurance covers your ride against accident damage, vandalism and theft. It also provides 24/7 emergency support in times of need. Opt in to this plan while finalizing your Del Mar vehicle with Expedia and save time and money at the rental counter.
