Question 11

Where can I find a Malibu hire car if I am younger than 25?

Accepted Answer

Whether you can hire a vehicle if you are under 25 in Malibu often depends on the rental company you select. Some businesses have a surcharge for young drivers between 21 and 24 years old, whereas others may not apply any extra fees for this age bracket. Make sure you understand the terms and conditions of your prospective car company to avoid any nasty surprises at the hire desk.

Question 12

Can I drive in Malibu with my current driver's license?

Accepted Answer

If you don't have a driver's license from the U.S, you may be required to get an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country before hiring a car. If you find that an IDP is required for you 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, the credit card you used to hire the car must match the name on your driver's license and passport in order to finalize your car hire. Additional requirements for hire cars in the U.S. Are:

Age restrictions: You must be at least 25 in many states in order to hire a car, although in some areas, 21 years and older is allowed. We recommend checking local rules and regulations, as well as with the company you're hiring from before you travel to understand all the terms and conditions.
Driving limitations: Don't forget to read the fine print before you slide behind the wheel so you can avoid unnecessary fees. When hiring a car in the U.S, you usually can't cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, drive on ferries or go off-roading with your car hire. Please read the regulations before booking!
