What do you need to rent a car in California?
You’ll need to present a valid driver’s license and a credit card 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 auto insurance.
Can I drive in California with my U.S. Driver's license?
Yes, your valid U.S. License will be enough for you to legally drive in California. But if you’re the sort of person who likes to cover all your bases, pick up an International Driving Permit. You’ll need to apply for it before you leave home.

Where can I find a California car rental if I am younger than 25?
Some California providers will rent cars to drivers under 25 years of age, and others won’t. Policies differ between suppliers, so be prepared to do some research. Also, find out if there are any extra costs. Some outlets will have a surcharge for young drivers between the ages of 21 and 24. Always look through the terms and conditions to avoid any surprise fees.
