How old do you have to be to rent a car in California Desert?
Drivers aged 21 and over can hit the highway in California Desert in a rental car. If you’re a young driver, a daily surcharge applies. You’ll generally have fewer car categories to choose from, such as economy and compact, and may also be required to purchase inclusive insurance. Be sure to enter the correct age of the main driver when booking to find out if any extra fees or restrictions apply.
What do you need to rent a car in California Desert?
Renting a car in California Desert is a breeze. Usually, all that’s required is your driver’s license and a credit card in the same name. Once you’ve found your favorite set of wheels, read the terms and conditions to make sure there are no further requirements prior to your scheduled pickup.

Whether you plan to stop in California Desert or journey beyond, you can reserve a long-term rental with Expedia. Enter your trip dates and pick-up/drop-off locations and we’ll help you find amazing long-term car rental deals.
Where can I find a California Desert car rental if I am younger than 25?
Age policies differ between rental companies, so you’ll have to do a bit of shopping around. Managed to find a California Desert outlet that does rent to drivers under the age of 25? Terrific news! Just be aware that extra fees often apply to drivers aged between 21 and 24. The fine print of each rental car you’re looking at will have all the information you need.
