California does require 2 plates, but you can use a rental car as long as you are listed on the rental contract as the insured. You can probably get a rental at Enterprise for cheap DMV's Driving Test (FFDL 22)

Just keep in mind that some Canadian provinces don't require a front plate, and California does; I'm not sure if that could be a deal breaker for the DMV

Good luck!
The DMV only cares that everything on the car works, and that it's registered and insured, i.e. legal to drive. (If a signal light is broken, for example, the car isn't legal to drive, aside from potential safety issues.) I know someone who took the test in a car from a state that only requires one plate. As Newbie Poster said, it's irrelevant. The car's plating and place of registration isn't related to or involved with proving to an examiner one's competency to drive. Ownership of the car is irrelevant: borrowed, rented, driver-owned, it's all good. This was covered thoroughly, I thought, on page 1 of the thread.
