Is it easy to hire a car in Southern California?|161383

I am going to California in May with my boyfriend from the UK.

We are hoping just to hire a car for a couple of days or if its successful we could do it maybe more than once.

Has anyone hired one before and was it OK? What do you need to take with you? Any info would be great.

Can you recommend any company to go with?

avis as its the closest to the airport and quicker to come out

All you need to rent (hire) a car is a credit card, a current, valid driver license, and be at least 23 years old (some prefer 25 years old). If you are younger you will be charged an underage surcharge. Your U.K. driver license will be honored for the length of your visit, or for a maximum of 90 days. Please note that the (so called) International Driver License is specifically prohibited from use, by law, in California..

Most American rental cars, except the tiniest cracker box model, comes with automatic transmission (gearbox), air conditioning, premium stereo, and unlimited mileage.

The two companies that tend to be the least expensive are Enterprise, and Alamo, and the two companies that tend to be the most expensive are Hertz, and Avis. Enjoy your stay in the U.S.

You can book your car hire in California when you are there or pre-book in advance.

Hi Florence,

Peedlepup gave a most excellent answer. I would like to concur with his choices of Enterprise and Alamo. My personal favorite is Alamo. Please give him _Best Answer_.
