Generally, you’ll need a current driver’s license and a credit card in the same name when collecting the car. Proof of coverage may also be required if you decide to opt out of the company’s insurance policy. Requirements are likely to differ between rental outlets, so remember to check while booking.

Whether you’re planning to stick around Palo Alto or venture beyond, you can reserve a long-term rental with Expedia. Enter your trip details and pick-up/drop-off locations and we’ll find you excellent long-term car rental deals.
Where can I find a Palo Alto car rental if I am younger than 25?
You’ll need to look up the age policy of the Palo Alto rental providers you’re considering. If you’re under 25 years old, some companies will charge additional fees. It’s best to know about this before collecting the vehicle so you can have the funds ready. Every rental car company has its own policies for young drivers, so it’d be wise to do your research.
