Frequently asked questions

How much is a rental car per day in La Jolla?
You get bang for your buck in La Jolla, with car rental prices within the past seven days starting from as little as $34 a day.
Can I rent a car from San Diego Intl. Airport (SAN)?
San Diego Intl. Airport (SAN) has plenty of choice within a quick commute. See what's available with Economy, Enterprise, Ace, EZ Rent-A-Car or Advantage Rent-A-Car.
What happens if I need to cancel my La Jolla car reservation?
No need to stress. You should get all of your money back if you advise us a minimum of six hours before the collection time. Your itinerary contains details about this, and so does our Customer Service Portal. Not all prepaid rentals qualify for a refund though, so it's a good idea to go over your policy.
What types of cars can I rent in La Jolla?
Busy city streets and tight parking spaces are no hassle for an economy car --- the most commonly booked type of rental in La Jolla. Slide behind the wheel of one of these and get around traffic like a dream. Affordable, reliable and good on gas, these small cars pack plenty of punch. But La Jolla can be explored in almost any type of rental you like. Compacts, SUVs and full-size vehicles are among your options.
Where can I go on a road trip from La Jolla?
There are lots of things to see and do in La Jolla, but venture farther afield and you'll find more sightseeing magic. Grab a set of wheels and you can discover the greater area at your own speed. Add these awesome drives to your to-do list:

  • Anaheim is about 80 mi from La Jolla. Renowned tourist attractions like Disneyland® deserve a place on your must-see list here.
  • Your next pit stop? It has to be Los Angeles, which is around 100 mi away. Universal Studios Hollywood is one local highlight you won't want to miss.
  • Get out into the great outdoors and appreciate the serenity at Lotusland. You'll find it roughly 180 mi from La Jolla.

How old do you have to be to rent a car in La Jolla?
You need to be at least 21. But there are a few age-related restrictions you should keep in mind before locking in your La Jolla wheels. If you're a younger motorist, many rental outlets will charge an extra daily fee and limit the types of cars you can rent. The surcharge, and which age range it applies to, differs between providers. It's always a good idea to compare the rules.
What do you need to rent a car in La Jolla?
While rules can differ between rental car outlets in La Jolla, the two things you'll need are a valid driver's license and a credit card. You don't need to take out the company's auto insurance. However, proof of your own coverage may be required.
What is the cheapest car rental in La Jolla?
We looked into prices over the last seven days and found that the most affordable daily rate was $34. The next best price to rent a set of wheels in La Jolla was $38 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?
Expedia makes it a cinch to pick up a long-term rental in La Jolla. Simply head to our long-term car rental deals page, enter your trip preferences and compare your options.
Where can I find a La Jolla car rental if I am younger than 25?
Some La Jolla companies will rent cars to drivers under 25, and others won't. Policies differ from supplier to supplier, so you should do your homework. Also, find out if there are any additional costs. Some businesses will have a surcharge for customers between 21 and 24. Always look through the terms and conditions to avoid any surprise fees.
What insurance should I choose for my car rental in La Jolla?
After perfectly planning your big trip, don't skimp on safety --- choose collision protection while reserving your La Jolla car rental with Expedia. There are plenty of benefits to this plan, including up to $35,000 in primary coverage for accident damage, theft and vandalism. Plus, with a zero-dollar deductible and 24-hour emergency assistance, you can breathe a little easier if a mishap occurs.
