Here at Holiday Extras, we aim to make things as hassle-free as possible so you can make the most of precious time away. Therefore, our total protection insurance for your California car hire will give you that bit of extra reassurance that, should the rental vehicle be involved in an accident, then your insurance will cover you. We regularly compare and price-check all our policies to ensure we always bring you the best level cover at the lowest prices. All our policies include the following:
- Damage and theft excess
- Damage protection for all mechanical and exterior of the car
- Cover for any immobilisation, admin and towing charges
- Free cancellation up to 48 hours before travel
On arrival in California
When you arrive in the USA, collecting your hire car couldn't be simpler. If you've chosen to pick it up at Los Angeles Airport (LAX), then head to the car hire provider's desk in the Arrivals hall. If you're collecting your rental car from another location, then make your way to the address on your booking confirmation. On arrival, a member of the team will go over the details of the car rental agreement with you. There will be some paperwork to complete ahead of the keys being handed over for the car. They will also take a moment to remind you of the fuel policy for the car, as well as whether there is any mileage limit on the hire agreement.
Please ensure you have the following with you when you pick up your hire car:
- Printed email confirmation for each of your journeys
- A full driving licence
- Credit card in the lead driver's name, with the full deposit amount available
- A valid DVLA code
- A valid passport
On your return
When your time in the Golden State comes to an end, full details of where to return your California hire car to will be listed on your booking confirmation. When you take your rental car back, the rental company will give it a quick inspection before you head off.
Making the most of California
California boasts so much more than just infinite sun and endless sandy beaches. There are acres and acres of wilderness and rugged coastlines to be discovered. You can utilise California's extensive freeway system to drive north through Carmel-By-The-Sea to San Francisco. Then, you can drive across the iconic Golden Gate Bridge and truly experience its sheer enormity. A car is a must-have in Los Angeles to fully explore the Southern Californian city. Head to Venice Beach Boardwalk where you can eat, shop and watch amazing street performers, before travelling up to Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills.
