Discover Santa Monica, CA, United States

  • Santa Monica: More Than Just a Pier

    Located just west of Los Angeles, Santa Monica is a small city that boasts one of the most famous beaches in the United States. You'll also find world-class shopping and dining along with the 24-hour spectacle of the iconic Pier. It's relatively easy to explore Santa Monica with a car rental when you travel here. It's about a 30-minute drive north from LAX to reach Santa Monica. Having your own rental car makes it easy to explore the city as well as other Los Angeles attractions.

    Explore the Pier

    The Santa Monica Pier is open 24 hours a day and features a Ferris wheel and a roller coaster along with an aquarium, a carousel, and an arcade. Swing high above the waves with a session with the Trapeze School, rent a bike, or take a free historic walking tour.

    Get Out in Nature

    Many visitors spend time outdoors exploring the Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area. From the Pier, you'll take a picturesque drive on the Pacific Coast Highway, one of the most iconic drives in the United States. The 23-mile route is about a 44-minute drive, plenty of time to take in the breathtaking scenery. Once you arrive, hike on more than 500 miles of trails and potentially catch a glimpse of a mountain lion or coyote.

    Do Like Californians Do

    Cruising is part of the California lifestyle, and opting for a car rental allows you to take part. Scenic Ocean Avenue is the place to see and be seen in Santa Monica, so you might want to consider getting a convertible to enjoy the gorgeous weather and take in the sights.

    Book your ideal car today to start your California adventure.

Car Rental Requirements in the United States

  • Minimum Age

    In most countries, the minimum age required to hire a vehicle is 25.

  • Driver’s License

    Each driver must present a full, valid and original national driver's license held for minimum of 2 years. If your license is not in a language used in your destination country, an International Driver's Permit to accompany your national driver's license is highly recommended. Some rental companies and government agencies require that you present an IDP. It is the renter's responsibility to present both their IDP and Driver's License when picking up the vehicle. For more information, please reach out to the Rental Company.

  • ID or Passport

    Each driver must present a valid and original photo ID or passport.

  • International Credit Card

    The renter must present a personal credit card, valid in the country of pick-up with enough funds to put a hold for a security deposit. Third-party credit cards will not be accepted. The car rental company is solely responsible for approving the provided credit card. Online prepayment does not exempt the renter from providing a valid international credit card during vehicle pick-up. The rental company will place a hold in the amount of the security deposit and, when applicable, any additional local fees not covered in the prepaid voucher on the card provided at the rental location.

  • Prepaid Booking Voucher

    You must present a printout of the Booking Confirmation Voucher at the rental location. This document officially confirms all agreed upon services, payment conditions, rates, discounts, as well as vehicle availability within the group selected.

  • Important Information

    Car rental companies reserve the right to refuse service to underage or unlicensed drivers, those with poor credit history or individuals otherwise considered liabilities by the rental company.
