What happens if I need to cancel my Malibu car reservation?

Question 4

What types of cars can I rent in Malibu?

Accepted Answer

Bustling city streets and narrow parking spots are no hassle for an economy car — the most in-demand type of rental in Malibu. Get behind the wheel of one of these and get around traffic easily.

Compacts, premiums and SUVs are some other options to choose from.

There's heaps to do in Malibu, but venture further afield and you'll find more sightseeing magic. Rent a set of wheels and you can wander around the surrounding area at your own pace. Add these fantastic destinations to your to-do list:

Make tracks to Santa Ana for a fun-filled sightseeing adventure. Roughly 80 kilometres from Malibu, it's home to loads of amazing attractions, including Santa Ana Zoo.
Why not check out the wonders of Yorba Linda too? Top tourist attractions in this vibrant city include Richard Nixon Library and Museum. Yorba Linda is about 80 kilometres from Malibu.

Question 8

How old do you have to be to rent a car in Malibu?

Accepted Answer

You need to be at least 21. But there are several age-related rules you should know about before locking in your wheels in Malibu. If you're a younger motorist, many rental providers will charge an additional daily fee and limit the types of vehicles you can rent. The surcharge, and which ages it applies to, varies between suppliers. Take your time to compare the rules.

Question 9

What do you need to rent a car in Malibu?

Accepted Answer

Any rental company you select will ask for these two things — your driver's licence and a credit card in your name. If you'd like to opt out of the provider's insurance plan, proof of other coverage will also likely be needed. Read through your policy so you know what to bring when it's time to pick up the keys.

Question 12

Where can I find a Malibu car rental if I am younger than 25?

Accepted Answer

You'll need to look up the age policy of the Malibu rental providers you're considering. If you're under the age of 25, be mindful that some will charge extra fees. It's good to know this in advance so you can plan your budget accordingly. Each rental car company has its own rules for younger drivers, so do your research.

Question 13

Can I drive in Malibu with my current driver's license?

Accepted Answer

If you don't possess a driver's license issued in the U.S, then you might need to apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country before renting a car. If you find that an IDP is required for you to drive in the U.S., note that you'll also need to show your current valid driver's license and your passport or other form of ID. Lastly, the credit card used to rent the car must 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 need to be 25 or older in many states to rent a car, although in some places the minimum age is 21. We recommend checking local rules and regulations, and with the car rental company before your trip to understand all the regulations that may apply to you.
Driving limitations: Be sure to read the fine print before you leave the lot so you can avoid any unnecessary charges. When renting a car in the United States, you typically can't cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, use car ferries or traverse certain types of rugged terrain with your car rental. Please read the details before booking!
