  • Book early to secure the best price for a Fullerton car hire. Besides saving money, you'll be choosing from the full lineup, not what's left.

  • Browse the offers available with Avis, Budget and Dollar. They rank among the city's most trusted providers.

  • Whether you go with Avis or another supplier, make sure you understand the coverage on your Fullerton car hire. Some companies include a collision damage waiver (CDW), while others offer it as an optional extra.

  • Booking a one-way car hire can be the key to finding a deal. Click 'Return car to a different location.' Providers sometimes need to move vehicles from one branch to another, which means you can snag some awesome one-way prices on a car for rent in Fullerton.

  • Search for a vehicle with a 'Fair fuel policy.' You'll pick up and drop off your ride with a full tank, so you pay only for what you use. No surprise refueling fees tacked on at the end either.

  • Small: Whether you're navigating busy cities or simply planning a quick trip, this car category delivers big value in a small package. Including mini and economy classes, you can look forward to excellent fuel efficiency and easy handling.

  • Medium: Not too small, not too big, this is the Goldilocks of rentals! Typically including compact and intermediate cars, they strike a balance of fuel efficiency and interior space and are good for small families and couples.

  • Large: You've got the bags, the kids, the snacks, the works. Large vehicles have got the space to handle it all without breaking a sweat. Ideal for long-distance journeys, this Fullerton car hire category includes full-size cars.

  • SUV: SUVs are ready whenever wanderlust hits. All-wheel drive and everyday versatility equip them for urban streets and winding backroads alike.

  • Van: If you're searching for a car for rent in Fullerton big enough for a small crowd (and all their stuff), a van is the roomy ride you need. Including commercial vans and trucks, they're best suited for group travel, moving or business use.

Insurance and optional extras

  • Adding excess insurance to your Fullerton car hire can take the stress out of driving. It protects you from paying a big excess fee in case of a collision or theft. Insurance policies aren't the same across all rental providers, so always compare your options.

  • Upgrade your ride with extras like a reverse camera and GPS unit. These add-ons can make your trip more comfortable and stress-free when you rent a car in Fullerton.

Good to know

  • The minimum age to rent a vehicle in the United States is generally 21 years old. However rules can vary by provider, so always double-check your rental company's policy to know where you stand.

  • Add a car seat to your Fullerton car hire booking if you're travelling with small kids. Guidelines vary from one location to another, but using a child seat suited to their age, size and weight is always the safest option.

  • You'll likely be asked for these three things when picking up your rental car: a valid driver's licence, another form of photo ID, and a credit card with room to cover the excess. Debit cards aren't widely accepted. Any extra must-haves will be shown in your booking.

  • Driving in the United States can take some adjustment if it's your first time. Keep in mind traffic flows on the right side of the road.

  • Local speed limits are often about 40kph through urban areas and around 110kph on highways. Always check the posted signs, as limits may vary.

  • A blood alcohol concentration (BAC) limit of 0.08% applies in the United States. The safest choice for staying legal to drive is to not drink at all.

  • Aim to travel outside heavy traffic periods for a faster run. 5pm is one of the busiest times to be on the road in this destination.

  • You'll be using the United States dollar (USD) on your trip here. As well as your bank cards, consider having some cash handy for minor purchases.

  • The language most often spoken in this country is English.
