What types of cars can I rent in Malibu?

How old do you have to be to rent a car in Malibu?
Usually, you need to be 21 years and over in Malibu. It should be pointed out that most outlets will charge extra fees for young drivers. Check before you sign up, as rules may differ between rental car providers. Bear in mind that if you want to rent a luxury vehicle or a larger car like a premium SUV, you may need to be older than 21.
What do you need to rent a car in Malibu?
You'll generally require a current driver's license and credit card in your name when picking up the keys to your car. You may also need proof of coverage if you decide to opt out of the company's insurance policy. Requirements are likely to differ between providers, so it's wise to check the terms and conditions.
What is the cheapest car rental in Malibu?
The two lowest daily rates recorded in Malibu within the past seven days were $29 and $32. Now that's what we'd call a fantastic deal! 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 Malibu?
Yes, and the wonderful news is companies often offer lower rates the longer your rental term. Discover our long-term car rental deals in Malibu and hit the road with an incredible bargain.
Where can I find a Malibu car rental if I am younger than 25?
If you're a young driver hoping to rent a car in Malibu, we recommend checking the policies of the various car rental companies you're interested in. Some may rent to drivers under the age of 25, some may not. There may be extra fees if you're between 21 and 24 years old. To avoid any unwanted surprises at the rental counter, make sure you do your research.
What insurance should I choose for my car rental in Malibu?
Start your road trip on the right foot by choosing Expedia's collision damage protection. While there are all kinds of rental car insurance, this is one you should have. It provides primary coverage for collision damage, vandalism and theft up to $35,000, as well as round-the-clock emergency support. Don't wait until you arrive at the rental desk to insure your precious wheels. Opt in to collision protection while reserving your Malibu ride with Expedia and save money and time.
