Frequently asked questions

What happens if I need to cancel my Orange County car reservation?
If you have to make changes to your itinerary, nearly all bookings are eligible for a total refund. You'll just need to let us know a minimum of six hours before pickup. Read through your rental agreement for any exemptions. Your booking details will have more details, or head over to our Customer Service Portal for more info.
What types of cars can I rent in Orange County?
Not too small and not too big, compact cars are the number one choice for many travellers to Orange County. With terrific gas mileage and easy manoeuvrability and parking, they're well-suited to travelling around the city. A compact car is roomier than an economy vehicle, so you can hit the road in a little more comfort and style. Need a bit more legroom? Browse our intermediate, standard or full-size range.

How old do you have to be to rent a car in Orange County?
Orange County requires drivers to be at least 21 before they can rent a car. However, young drivers will be subject to an extra charge and some restrictions on choice. Most suppliers impose a daily young renter fee on top of the usual car rental rate. This helps cover the extra risk of accident or damage. While many car categories (like compact and mid-size) are available to young drivers, restrictions generally apply to premium and specialty cars.
What do you need to rent a car in Orange County?
You'll need to present your driver's licence and a credit card in your name when you get to the rental counter. Prior to the pickup date, check with your chosen rental company whether anything else is needed. For example, you may also need to show proof of insurance.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Orange County?
You can. We partner with trusted suppliers that offer weekly and monthly rentals for all types of cars. Take a look at our long-term car rental deals and explore every turn of Orange County — or far beyond!
Where can I find a Orange County car rental if I am younger than 25?
Renting a car if you're under 25 years in Orange County often depends on the rental supplier you select. Some outlets have a surcharge for young customers aged between 21 and 24 years, however other companies may not have any additional fees for this age group. It'd be wise to go through the terms and conditions of your prospective rental dealer to escape extra charges on pickup.
