What types of cars can I rent in Palm Desert?

Where can I go on a road trip from Palm Desert?
Palm Desert has plenty to keep you busy, but don't limit yourself to only one place. Arrange a set of wheels and hit the road to see what else awaits in the surrounding area. Here are some places to consider:

  • You'll find Universal Studios Hollywood and many other intriguing attractions in Los Angeles. From Palm Desert, it's roughly 177 kilometres away.

Score an amazing deal with Expedia. Just choose your preferred ride, select your dates and pickup and drop-off locations, and compare offers from all the top rental brands. Save even more when you bundle your Palm Desert car rental with hotel or flight bookings.
How old do you have to be to rent a car in Palm Desert?
Drivers with a valid licence 21 and above can rent a vehicle in Palm Desert. While some outlets may be willing to rent to drivers younger than 21, they will add on fees. Find out what ages the young driver surcharge applies to, and associated costs, before reserving your ride. Suppliers also restrict the categories of cars available to young drivers. Higher age limits apply for specialty and luxury vehicles.
What do you need to rent a car in Palm Desert?
Most rental companies will require two things — your driver's licence and credit card. If you'd prefer to opt out of the supplier's insurance plan, proof of your own coverage may also be needed. Read your policy thoroughly so you know what to bring when it's time to collect your wheels.
What is the cheapest car rental in Palm Desert?
According to prices found within the past seven days, the lowest daily rate for a rental vehicle in Palm Desert was AU$71. The next best deal was AU$75 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.

Click on our long-term car rental deals page, enter your trip details and then choose a ride that suits. Whether you're staying in Palm Desert or discovering beyond, Expedia will help you find a long-term rental at an amazing rate.
Where can I find a Palm Desert car rental if I am younger than 25?
Age policies are different between rental suppliers, so be prepared to do a little research. Found a Palm Desert outlet that does rent to drivers under the age of 25? That's great! Just be aware that extra fees often apply to drivers between the ages of 21 and 24. The fine print of each rental car you're looking at should have all the details you need.
Can I drive in Palm Desert with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a license from the U.S, then you may need 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 part of the requirements to drive in the U.S., be aware that you'll also have to show your current driver's license and your passport or other form of ID. Lastly, the credit card you used to rent the vehicle must match the name on your license and passport in order to finalize your car rental. Other things you should know about rental cars in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You must be at least 25 in many states in order to rent a car, although in some areas, 21 years and older is allowed. We recommend checking local regulations, as well as with the rental car company before your trip to understand all the regulations that may apply to you.
  • Driving limitations: Make sure you read the fine print before you get behind the wheel so you can avoid any unnecessary charges. When renting a car in the U.S, you typically can't cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, drive on ferries or traverse rough terrain with your home. Please read the details before you book!
