What age do you have to be to rent a car in Irvine?

Typically, to rent a car in Irvine you must be at least 21. But, you may find that there is an added charge if you are under 25 or for higher category rentals. Go through the terms to determine what the exact price will be before you book your rental.

Does Irvine require rental car insurance?

When driving around Irvine or the rest of the U.S.A., you will need insurance. Almost every supplier needs proof of insurance before you pick up your vehicle. The majority of countries require driver's insurance. You may be able to pay for interim insurance through the rental agency. Moreover, as a U.S. citizen, you can also purchase Collision Damage Coverage through CarRentals.com during checkout.

Many major card issuers, like Visa or American Express, provide some coverage, but there are usually restrictions. For example, you may not be covered if you reserve a luxury or larger vehicle. Check the rental car company's policy before you decide.

What is the difference between all the fuel policies?

Most suppliers allow you to choose which policy you want. Here is a list of the typical policies.

What type of fuel policy should I choose?

We advise a full tank policy. You receive the car with a full tank. If you return the rental with less than the amount you received it with, most companies will charge a premium, and sometimes up to 3X the amount of current gas prices to refill it. If you want to keep your expenses lower, it is best to fill up your tank before returning the rental.

Is it worth getting unlimited miles?

If you plan to check out all that Irvine and maybe even the rest of California offers, you're going to want unlimited miles. You won't have to worry about extra charges if you decide to drive all over Irvine. Read the fine print to be certain they are truly "unlimited."

Before you leave the lot

Be sure you check a few things prior to leaving the car rental lot. You should take time to:

• Look over the vehicle and determine if there is any damage or scratches. 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 the jack and lung wrench are there
• Familiarize yourself with the car. Adjust the mirrors and seats, and note how to turn on the lights and windshield wipers
• Get comfortable working the entertainment and GPS (if available). It's best to limit any unnecessary distractions when you are driving around a new region
