What do you need to rent a car in California?
Before you can road trip around California, you’ll need a valid driver’s license and a credit card in the same name. If you decline to take out the rental company’s insurance policy, you may also have to provide proof of other coverage. Requirements can vary, so read the policy terms and conditions before you choose a rental supplier.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in California?

Where can I find a California car rental if I am younger than 25?
This will depend on the car rental companies that are in California. They often have different policies when it comes to minimum ages. If you’ve found a place that does cater to drivers under 25 years of age, keep in mind that extra costs may apply. Conduct some research into any extra charges before picking up your vehicle.
