What types of cars can I rent in La Jolla?
Bustling city streets and cramped parking spaces are no bother for an economy car — the most commonly booked type of rental in La Jolla. Jump behind the wheel of one of these and negotiate traffic effortlessly. Affordable, reliable and with terrific mileage, these small cars pack plenty of punch. But La Jolla can be explored in almost any type of rental you like. Compacts, premiums and SUVs are other options to consider.
Where can I go on a road trip from La Jolla?
La Jolla is full of adventures, but don't limit yourself to only one place. Pick up a set of wheels and hit the open road to discover what else awaits in the wider area. Here are some ideas:

  • You'll find Universal Studios Hollywood and many other amazing attractions in Los Angeles. From La Jolla, it's about 161 kilometres away.
  • Next stop? Consider Santa Ana, which is around 113 kilometres away. Santa Ana Zoo is one local highlight you shouldn't miss.
  • Make your way to Channel Islands National Park to rediscover nature. Pack a picnic to enjoy or just chill out in the fresh air. From La Jolla, it's around 274 kilometres away.

How do I find the best car rental deals in La Jolla with Expedia?
Expedia makes it easy and fast to compare prices, offers and rental companies, and to check reviews. Bundle your La Jolla car rental with hotel or flight bookings and you can make even bigger savings.
How old do you have to be to rent a car in La Jolla?
Anyone with a valid driver's licence aged 21 and over can rent a vehicle in La Jolla. While some providers may be willing to rent to drivers younger than 21, this will come with additional fees. Find out what age range the young driver surcharge applies to, and associated costs, before booking. There are also restrictions on the types of cars young drivers can rent. Higher limits are in place for luxury and specialty vehicles.
What do you need to rent a car in La Jolla?
In most cases, all you'll need is a current driver's licence and credit card in your name when picking up the keys to your car. Proof of coverage may also be needed if you choose to opt out of the company's insurance policy. These requirements may differ between providers, so it's always wise to check before you book.
What is the cheapest car rental in La Jolla?
We looked into prices over the last seven days and found that the lowest daily rate was AU$47. The second lowest price to rent a ride in La Jolla was AU$50 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?
You can, and the good news is providers often offer lower prices the longer your rental term. Check out our long-term car rental deals in La Jolla and hit the road with a serious bargain.
Where can I find a La Jolla car rental if I am younger than 25?
Renting a vehicle if you are under 25 years old in La Jolla often depends on the rental company you choose. Some places apply a surcharge for customers between 21 and 24 years old, yet others may not apply any extra costs for this age bracket. It'd be wise to understand the terms and conditions of your prospective rental company to avoid any surprise charges on pickup.
Can I drive in La Jolla with my current driver's license?
If you don't possess a driver's license issued in the United States, you may be required to get an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your country of residence before renting a car in the U.S. If you find that an IDP is required for you to drive in the U.S, be aware that you'll also have to show your valid driver's license and your passport or other forms of identification. Lastly, the credit card you used to rent the car needs to match the name on your license and passport in order to finalize your car rental. Additional requirements for car rentals in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You'll need to be 25 in many states in order to rent a car, although in some areas allow drivers as young as 21. We recommend checking local rules and regulations, as well as the car rental website before you travel to understand additional terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Read the fine print before you drive off the lot so you can avoid any 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 go off-roading with your rental car. We recommend reading all the rules and regulations before you book!
