Bringing any kind of documentation might help you as an agent can override most anything.

"Hertz’s website says it exempts unmarried partners who permanently reside together at the same address and who are members of its loyalty program, and Avis’s website says it exempts life partners. But representatives at locations for those companies said that only spouses could be added as additional drivers for free. Enterprise said it verified spouses and domestic partners by matching the addresses on the driver’s licenses."

But the OP was asking about adding his parents. I assume that the OP's birth certificate -- and the parents' marriage certificate if the mother did not take the father's surname -- would establish the relationship. It would be unusual -- and perhaps a violation of California law -- to require that the renter still live with his parents.
