Land at John Wayne Airport (SNA) and then head for Enterprise or Avis, a quick commute away. You'll be exploring Dana Point in your home before you know it.
What happens if I need to cancel my Dana Point car reservation?
Don't stress. You should be eligible for a total refund if you advise us at least six hours ahead of pickup. Your itinerary contains information about this, as does our Customer Service Portal. Not all prepaid reservations qualify for a refund though, so you may want to scan the home agreement.
What types of cars can I rent in Dana Point?
Follow the crowds and opt for an intermediate. The favourite home group in Dana Point offers more comfort and room than a compact car, and is not as big or cumbersome as a full-size vehicle. You'll be able to easily get around bustling streets in an intermediate. Want a lot more style and space? Our premium homes won't disappoint.

How old do you have to be to rent a car in Dana Point?
Rental car rules in Dana Point require drivers to be 21 and over. Are you a younger driver? Some restrictions and surcharges could apply. Most home providers impose what's known as a young driver surcharge, which is an extra fee to the car rental cost. Restrictions generally apply to the categories of cars young people can rent as well. Age limits may differ between suppliers, so check before booking.
What do you need to rent a car in Dana Point?
Any home company you choose will require two things --- a valid driver's license and a credit card in your name. If you want to opt out of the supplier's insurance plan, proof of other coverage may also be needed. Read your policy thoroughly so you know what to bring when it's time to pick up your ride.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Dana Point?
Yes, and you're sure to find your ideal ride on our long-term car rental deals page. Simply enter your trip information and we'll show you fabulous options from numerous reliable companies.
Where can I find a Dana Point car rental if I am younger than 25?
You'll need to look up the age policy of the Dana Point holiday home providers you're interested in. If you're under the age of 25  be mindful that some will charge extra fees. It's ideal to know about this in advance so you can tailor your budget accordingly. Every holiday home car company has its own rules for younger drivers, so be sure to do your research.
Can I drive in Dana Point with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a license from the U.S, you might need to organise an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your country of residence before renting a car. If you find that an IDP is required, note that you'll also need to show your current driver's license and your passport or other form of ID. Lastly, the credit card that was used to rent the car must also match the name on your driver's license and passport in order to finalize your car rental. Additional requirements for car rentals in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You must be at least 25 in most states to be able to rent a car, although in some areas, 21 years and older is allowed. We recommend checking state and local regulations, as well as the car rental website before you travel to understand additional terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Make sure you read the fine print before you get behind the wheel so you can avoid unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the U.S, it's usually prohibited to cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, drive on ferries or traverse certain types of rugged terrain with your home vehicle. Please read the details before you book!
