Compare Car Hire in California

We’ve all been faced with times when even the best-laid plans go wrong. That’s why we provide a full refund on the majority of rentals if you advise us six hours ahead of the scheduled collection time. Don’t forget to double-check your policy — in some cases it’s not available. Can’t find anything there? Our Customer Service Portal is always available to help.

With our member discounts, exclusive offers and awesome range of rental companies, finding the best wheels at the perfect price is a walk in the park with Expedia. Compare vehicles from up to suppliers in California. Plus, when you bundle your car rental with your hotel and flights, you’ll make even bigger savings with our handy vacation packages.

It’s easy to score an awesome deal with Expedia. All you have to do is choose your preferred ride, select your dates and preferred pickup and drop-off locations, and browse offers from all the top suppliers. Save even more when you bundle your California car rental with flight or hotel bookings.

The main requirements are your driver’s license and a credit card in the same name. Car rental companies will offer you insurance, which is optional. But you may have to provide proof of other coverage if you prefer to opt out. We recommend checking with your rental agency to avoid any problems.

You can, and the awesome news is companies often offer lower rates the longer your rental term. Scroll through our long-term car rental deals in California and cruise away with an amazing bargain.

Age policies are different between rental companies, so you’ll have to do a bit of homework. Managed to find a California outlet that does rent to drivers under the age of 25? Terrific! Just bear in mind that some companies charge extra fees to drivers between 21 and 24. The terms and conditions of each rental car you’re considering will have all the information you need.
