Jump behind the wheel of one of these and negotiate traffic effortlessly. Affordable, reliable and with terrific mileage, these small cars pack plenty of punch.

  • You'll find Universal Studios Hollywood and many other amazing attractions in Los Angeles. From La Jolla, it's about 161 kilometres away.

How old do you have to be to rent a car in La Jolla?
Anyone with a valid driver's licence aged 21 and over can rent a vehicle in La Jolla. While some providers may be willing to rent to drivers younger than 21  this will come with additional fees. Find out what age range the young driver surcharge applies to, and associated costs, before booking. There are also restrictions on the types of cars young drivers can rent. Higher limits are in place for luxury and specialty vehicles.
What do you need to rent a car in La Jolla?
In most cases, all you'll need is a current driver's licence and credit card in your name when picking up the keys to your car. Proof of coverage may also be needed if you choose to opt out of the company's insurance policy. These requirements may differ between providers, so it's always wise to check before you book.

Can I rent a car for a month or longer in La Jolla?
You can, and the good news is providers often offer lower prices the longer your rental term. Check out our long-term car rental deals in La Jolla and hit the road with a serious bargain.
Where can I find a La Jolla car rental if I am younger than 25?
Renting a vehicle if you are under 25 years old in La Jolla often depends on the rental company you choose. Some places apply a surcharge for customers between 21 and 24 years old, yet others may not apply any extra costs for this age bracket. It'd be wise to understand the terms and conditions of your prospective rental company to avoid any surprise charges on pickup.
