What happens if I need to cancel my Dana Point car reservation?
We understand that flexibility is important. That's why many reservations give a full refund if you notify us a minimum of six hours prior to the pickup time. It's still good to check your rental agreement though because there are some exemptions. If you can't find the answer there, head over to our Customer Service Portal.
What types of cars can I rent in Dana Point?

How old do you have to be to rent a car in Dana Point?
Dana Point requires drivers to be 21 and above to rent a vehicle. However, young drivers will be subject to an extra cost and some restrictions on choice. Most suppliers impose a young renter fee on top of the usual rental rate. This covers the higher risk of accident or damage. While many car classes (like compact and mid-size) are available to young drivers, restrictions generally apply to luxury and specialty vehicles.
What do you need to rent a car in Dana Point?
Any rental company you select will require two things — a valid driver's licence and a credit card in your name. If you choose to opt out of the provider's insurance plan, proof of other coverage will also likely be needed. Read your policy so you know what to bring when it's time to pick up the keys.
What is the cheapest car rental in Dana Point?
AU$77 and AU$81 were the lowest daily rates for rental cars in Dana Point within the past seven days. 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 Dana Point?
You can. We partner with quality suppliers that offer long-term rentals for a wide range of cars. Book one of our long-term car rental deals and explore every nook and cranny of Dana Point — or far beyond!
Where can I find a Dana Point car rental if I am younger than 25?
Age policies are different between rental suppliers, so you'll have to do some research. Found a Dana Point outlet that does rent to drivers under the age of 25? Terrific! Just be aware that some companies charge extra fees to drivers between 21 and 24. The fine print of each rental car you're looking at should have all the information you need.
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!
