Question 8

What insurance should I choose for my car rental in San Francisco?

Accepted Answer

Purchase collision damage protection while booking your San Francisco car rental with Expedia. This protects your vehicle against theft, vandalism and collision damage throughout your vacation. Offering up to $35,000 in primary coverage and 24-hour emergency support, you can drive away knowing you're covered for many mishaps. You can opt in to this plan during the checkout process.

Question 9

Can I drive in San Francisco with my current driver's license?

Accepted Answer

If you don't possess a driver's license issued in Puerto Rico, then it's likely you'll need to apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country to be able to rent a car. You should also note that if you do need an IDP, it won't be valid on its own. You'll be asked to show your driver's license from your home country your passport and other forms of documentation as well. Lastly, make sure the credit card you used to book the rental matches the name on your license and passport. A few other things to note for international car rentals are:

Age restrictions: You'll need to be 25 or over in many countries to rent a car. If you're younger, it might still be possible to rent a car but you'll have to pay a Young Driver's Surcharge. Additional restrictions may also apply to the types of vehicles available to rent.
Driving limitations: Be sure to read the rules and regulations before driving away. Typically, you can't cross country borders, drive on ferries or go off-roading with a rental vehicle.
