Whether you want a roomy family vehicle or a low-cost economy car, the sheer wealth of options in this California city means you're certain to find a car that suits your needs. Some options include:

Typically, to rent a car in Eureka you must be at least 21. Please note, you may find that there is an additional charge if you're under the age of 25 or for larger or higher category vehicles in particular. Read through the terms to find what the exact charge will be before you reserve your rental.

Insurance is always needed, no matter where you're renting a car. However, you could already be covered by your existing car or credit card policies. Keep in mind, your policies may not cover you 100%, and you'll need to add it on to your booking. Check in advance and, if it is required, you can conveniently add it at the CarRentals.com checkout.

Most suppliers allow you to choose which policy you want. Below is a list of the most common ones.

Most suppliers provide you a full tank policy. We encourage returning it filled up. If you want to keep your expenses lower, it is best to fill up your tank before you bring the car back.

Unlimited miles is a great choice if you decide to do a little sightseeing or visit a lot of clients all over Eureka. You can drive wherever you want and not incur additional charges. Review your policy to see if there are any limitations.

Make sure you go over a few things prior to leaving the car rental lot on your Eureka adventure. It's worth the time to:

• Inspect the vehicle and determine if there is any damage or scrapes. Be sure to make note of it on the paperwork, or you may get charged for it
• Check the trunk to see if the spare is inflated and both the lug wrench and jack are there
• Familiarize yourself with the car. Adjust the mirrors and seats to your liking, and figure out how to turn on the lights and windshield wipers
• Figure out how to work the navigation and entertainment. You don't want any unneeded distractions in a new city
