What happens if I need to cancel my Huntington Beach car reservation?
We understand that plans change and flexibility is important. That’s why the majority of homes offer a complete refund if cancelled at least six hours before picking up the car. It’s still good to go through the home policy though as there are some exceptions. If you can’t find the answer there, make your way to our Customer Service Portal.
What types of cars can I rent in Huntington Beach?
Many visitors choose to rent economy cars in Huntington Beach. Drivers love them because of their affordability. Plus, their small size makes them ideal for darting around cities, where streets are crowded and parking spots are tight. But economy isn’t your only option.

How old do you have to be to rent a car in Huntington Beach?
You need to be 21 and over to sit in the driver’s seat of a home vehicle in Huntington Beach. Take note that young drivers may be restricted to renting from a few car categories, such as compact, economy and medium size. Higher age limits usually apply for larger vehicles like premium SUVs. Most suppliers will also charge a fee for young renters. Read through the rules before clicking the book button and factor any surcharge into your budget.
What do you need to rent a car in Huntington Beach?
Most home companies will ask for these two things — a current driver’s license and a credit card in your name. If you choose to opt out of the provider’s insurance plan, proof of other coverage may also be needed. Read your policy so you know what to bring when it’s time to collect your wheels.
What is the cheapest car rental in Huntington Beach?
We looked into prices over the last seven days and found that the cheapest daily rate was AU$136. The second lowest price to rent a set of wheels in Huntington Beach was AU$183 a day. These rates were available on Expedia, with a holiday home starting date within the next year. Prices and availability are subject to change and additional terms apply.

Where can I find a Huntington Beach car rental if I am younger than 25?
Age policies differ between holiday home suppliers, so be prepared to do a little shopping around. Found a Huntington Beach supplier that does rent to drivers under 25? Awesome! Just take note that a surcharge often applies to drivers aged between 21 and 24. The fine print of each holiday home car you’re interested in should have all the details you need.
Can I drive in Huntington Beach with my current driver's license?
If you don’t have a driver’s license issued in the United States, then you might need to apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country before starting the home process. If you find that an IDP is required, know that you’ll also have to show your current driver’s license and your passport or other forms of identification. Lastly, your credit card used to rent the car must match the name on your driver’s license and passport in order to confirm your home. Some additional requirements for renting a car in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You need to be 25 or older in most states to be able to rent a car, although in some areas, 21 years and older is allowed. We recommend checking state and local regulations, as well as with the company you’re renting from before you book to understand all the regulations that may apply to you.
  • Driving limitations: Make sure you read the fine print before you drive off the lot so you can avoid any unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the U.S, you typically can’t cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, drive onto ferries or traverse rough terrain with your car rental. Please read all the rules and regulations before you book!
