Land at John Wayne Airport (SNA) and then head for Enterprise or Avis, a quick commute away. You’ll be discovering the sights and sounds of Irvine in your reliable hire before you know it.

Crowded city streets and cramped parking spots are no match for an economy car — the most in-demand type of rental in Irvine. Grab the wheel of one of these and manoeuvre around traffic easily. Affordable, reliable and good on fuel, these small cars pack a punch. But Irvine can be explored in almost any sort of rental you like. Compacts, premiums and SUVs are among your options.

Irvine is full of surprises, but don’t limit yourself to one place. Hire some wheels and hit the road to see what else awaits in the wider area. Here are some places to consider:

• Make your way to Los Angeles for a fantastic sightseeing experience. Around 35 miles from Irvine, it has tons of great sights, including Universal Studios Hollywood.
• Roughly 75 miles away, San Diego County is also a favourite with wanderers. Make time to check out San Diego Zoo while you’re in town. It’s one of the reasons people love visiting this buzzing city.
• Morro Rock is about 210 miles from Irvine and is one of the region’s most beautiful nature spots. Stretch your legs and enjoy the fresh air here.

It’s easy to find an awesome deal with Expedia. Just choose your wheels, select your dates and pick-up and drop-off locations, and compare offers from leading hire brands. Make even bigger savings when you combine your Irvine car rental with flight or hotel bookings.

In most cases, the rules are 21 years and over in Irvine. You should be aware that most companies will charge a young driver fee. Read the fine print before you book your ride, as rules may differ between rental car suppliers. Bear in mind that if you want to rent a luxury vehicle or a larger car like a premium SUV, rules may require drivers to be older than 21.

Most hire companies will ask for these two things — a current driver’s license and a credit card in your name. If you’d prefer to opt out of the provider’s insurance plan, proof of your own coverage will also likely be needed. Read your policy thoroughly so you know what to bring with you to the rental counter.

The two cheapest daily rates recorded in Irvine within the past seven days were £32 and £33. Now that’s what we’d call an awesome deal! 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.

Whether you plan to hang around Irvine or discover what’s beyond, it’s easy to reserve a long-term rental with Expedia. Enter your trip dates and pick-up/drop-off locations and we’ll help you find the best long-term car hire deals.

If you’re a young driver hoping to rent a car in Irvine, we recommend checking the policies of the various car rental companies you’re interested in. Some may hire to drivers under 25, some may not. There may be additional fees if you’re aged between 21 and 24. To escape any unwanted surprises at the rental desk, make sure you know exactly what to expect.

If you don’t have a license from the U.S, then you may need to get an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country before hiring a car in the U.S. If you find that an IDP is part of the requirements to drive in the U.S., note that you’ll also need to show your current driver’s license and your passport or other form of ID. Lastly, your credit card used to hire the car must also match the name on your driver’s license and passport in order to finalize your car hire. Some additional requirements for hiring a car in the U.S. Are:

• Age restrictions: You need to be 25 or older in many states in order to hire a car, although in some places the minimum age is 21. We recommend checking local regulations, as well as the car hire website before you travel to understand all the terms and conditions.
• Driving limitations: Be sure to read the fine print before you get behind the wheel to avoid unnecessary fees. When hiring a car in the U.S, you usually can’t cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, drive onto ferries or traverse certain types of rugged terrain with your hire car. Please read all the rules and regulations before you book!
