How old do you have to be to rent a car in Downtown Los Angeles?
Downtown Los Angeles requires drivers to be 21 and above to be able to rent a car. However, young drivers can expect an extra cost and some choice restrictions. Most suppliers impose a young renter fee in addition to the car rental rate. This helps cover the higher risk of accident or damage. While many car categories (like economy and compact) are available to young motorists, restrictions usually apply to luxury and specialty vehicles.
What do you need to rent a car in Downtown Los Angeles?
You'll generally require a driver's license and credit card in your name when picking up the keys to your car. Proof of coverage may also be needed if you'd like to opt out of the company's insurance policy. Rules often differ between home companies, so it's always a good idea to check in advance.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Downtown Los Angeles?
Head over to our long-term car rental deals page, enter your trip information and then choose a ride that suits. Whether you're basing yourself in Downtown Los Angeles or road-tripping around, Expedia will help you find a long-term holiday home at an excellent rate.
Where can I find a Downtown Los Angeles car rental if I am younger than 25?
Some Downtown Los Angeles companies will rent cars to drivers under 25 years of age, and others won't. Policies differ from supplier to supplier, so you should do some research. Also, find out if there are additional costs. Some businesses will have a surcharge for young drivers between 21 and 24. Make sure you read through the terms and conditions to avoid any nasty surprises.
Can I drive in Downtown Los Angeles with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a license from the United States, you might need to organise an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country before starting the home process. If you find that an IDP is required, be aware that you'll also have to show your valid driver's license and your passport or other form of ID. Lastly, the credit card used to rent the vehicle must match the name on your license and passport in order to confirm your home. Some additional requirements for renting a car in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You'll need to be 25 in many states to rent a car, although in some places the minimum age is 21. We recommend checking local regulations, as well as with the rental car company before you go to understand all the regulations that may apply to you.
  • Driving limitations: Be sure to read the fine print before you drive off so you can avoid any unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the United States, you usually can't cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, drive onto ferries or traverse certain types of rugged terrain with your rental car. Please read the regulations before you book!
