How much is a rental car per day in Malibu?

What happens if I need to cancel my Malibu car reservation?
We understand that having a bit of wiggle room is important. That’s why most homes give a full refund if you let us know six hours prior to the scheduled collection time. It’s still good to read the policy though because there are some exemptions. If the info isn’t there, make your way to our Customer Service Portal.
What types of cars can I rent in Malibu?
Not too small yet not too big, compact vehicles are the top choice for many home customers in Malibu. With superb mileage and easy handling and parking, they’re well-suited to dashing around the city. A compact has slightly more space than an economy vehicle, so you can get around in a little more comfort. Want something bigger? Browse our standard, intermediate and full-size options.

How old do you have to be to rent a car in Malibu?
In Malibu, the rule is generally 21 and over. Most outlets will charge extra fees for young drivers, which can vary based on the home location. Home policies for young drivers may include restrictions for certain vehicles, such as specialty cars, and require the purchase of inclusive insurance. It’s always a good idea to check the fine print before booking your ride.
What do you need to rent a car in Malibu?
The main things are a valid driver’s license and a credit card in your name. Many car rental companies will offer you insurance, which is optional. But you may be asked to provide proof of alternative coverage if you choose to opt out. We recommend checking with your home provider to avoid any hassles.
What side of the road do you drive on in Malibu?
In Malibu and around Canada, people drive on the right-hand side of the road. While this is the same as in the U.S, you’ll need to be mindful of any different traffic laws.
What is the cheapest car rental in Malibu?
AU$29 and AU$32 were the lowest daily prices for holiday home cars in Malibu within the past seven days. 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.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Malibu?
Yes, which means you won’t have to rebook a home vehicle mid-holiday. Click through to our long-term car rental deals page, enter your travel dates and reserve a set of wheels to call your own for the length of your escape.
Where can I find a Malibu car rental if I am younger than 25?
Some Malibu companies will rent cars to drivers under 25 years of age, and others won’t. Age policies differ from supplier to supplier, so you’ll need to do some research. Also, find out if there are any extra costs. Some places will apply a surcharge to customers between 21 and 24. Be sure to read through the terms and conditions to avoid any nasty surprises.
