Frequently asked questions

How much is a rental car per day in Malibu?
Getting around Malibu doesn't have to break the bank, with daily car rental prices starting at just NZ$60 within the past seven days.
Can I rent a car from Los Angeles Intl. Airport (LAX)?
Unfortunately, not directly from Los Angeles Intl. Airport (LAX). However, there's a good variety of rental car options close by. Pick and choose your set of wheels with a bit of help from Sixt, Fox, Thrifty, Payless or National.
What happens if I need to cancel my Malibu car reservation?
Our Customer Service Portal contains all the specifics about cancellations. In most situations, complete refunds are available if a prepaid booking is cancelled more than six hours prior to collecting the car. It's a good idea to read the car rental agreement to see if there are any exceptions.
What types of cars can I rent in Malibu?
Bustling city streets and narrow parking spots are no hassle for an economy car — the most in-demand type of rental in Malibu. Get behind the wheel of one of these and get around traffic easily. Reliable, affordable and good on gas, these small rides pack plenty of punch. But Malibu can be explored in almost any type of rental you like. Compacts, premiums and SUVs are some other options to choose from.
Where can I go on a road trip from Malibu?
There's heaps to do in Malibu, but venture further afield and you'll find more sightseeing magic. Rent a set of wheels and you can wander around the surrounding area at your own pace. Add these fantastic destinations to your to-do list:

  • Make tracks to Santa Ana for a fun-filled sightseeing adventure. Roughly 80 kilometres from Malibu, it's home to loads of amazing attractions, including Santa Ana Zoo.
  • Why not check out the wonders of Yorba Linda too? Top tourist attractions in this vibrant city include Richard Nixon Library and Museum. Yorba Linda is about 80 kilometres from Malibu.
  • Balboa Park is around 209 kilometres from Malibu and is one of the region's most gorgeous nature spots. Go for a walk around and enjoy the fresh air.

How old do you have to be to rent a car in Malibu?
You need to be at least 21. But there are several age-related rules you should know about before locking in your wheels in Malibu. If you're a younger motorist, many rental providers will charge an additional daily fee and limit the types of vehicles you can rent. The surcharge, and which ages it applies to, varies between suppliers. Take your time to compare the rules.
What do you need to rent a car in Malibu?
Any rental company you select will ask for these two things — your driver's licence and a credit card in your name. If you'd like to opt out of the provider's insurance plan, proof of other coverage will also likely be needed. Read through your policy so you know what to bring when it's time to pick up the keys.
What is the cheapest car rental in Malibu?
According to prices found within the past seven days, the lowest daily rate for a rental vehicle in Malibu was NZ$60. The second lowest price was NZ$65 per day. These rates were available on Expedia, with a rental 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?
Click on our long-term car rental deals page, enter your preferences and then lock in your perfect ride. Whether you're stopping in Malibu or venturing far beyond, Expedia will help you find a long-term rental at an awesome rate.
Where can I find a Malibu car rental if I am younger than 25?
You'll need to look up the age policy of the Malibu rental providers you're considering. If you're under the age of 25  be mindful that some will charge extra fees. It's good to know this in advance so you can plan your budget accordingly. Each rental car company has its own rules for younger drivers, so do your research.
