What do you need to rent a car in Santa Monica?
A valid driver's license and a credit card in the same name are essentials. Don't want to take out the company's insurance plan? Then you may also need proof of other coverage. The requirements may differ between providers, so read your policy thoroughly.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Santa Monica?

Where can I find a Santa Monica car rental if I am younger than 25?
Age policies differ between rental suppliers, so you'll have to do a little homework. Managed to find a Santa Monica supplier that does rent to drivers under 25? Terrific! Just take note that some companies charge additional fees to drivers aged between 21 and 24. The fine print of each rental car you're interested in will have all the information you need.
