10 tips to save on your car rental in and around San Clemente

  1. Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by vehicle type and features. Whether you're looking for an SUV with extra space, a convertible for summer drives, or an economy car for budget-friendly travel, utilize Expedia's filters to discover the best options for your journey.
  2. Book in advance to help lower costs: Rental prices can vary based on demand, so it's wise to reserve your car well ahead of your trip. By booking early, you are more likely to secure lower rates and better vehicle availability, especially during peak travel seasons.
  3. Consider a smaller car for savings: Smaller cars typically come with lower rental rates and are easier to park in crowded areas. Mid-size vehicles strike a good balance between cost, comfort, and fuel efficiency.
  4. Age guidelines: Drivers under the age of 30 may encounter higher deposits or daily fees, and certain vehicle types—such as SUVs or premium models—might not be available. This policy can also apply to renters over 70 years old. Always verify the age requirements before making a reservation.
  5. Check fuel policies: Some rentals operate on a full-to-full fuel policy, requiring you to return the car with a full tank to avoid additional charges. This is generally the most favorable option. Other policies might include full-to-empty or prepaid fueling options, which are acceptable as well, but ensure you return the car empty in that case.
  6. Save on city and airport pickups: Picking up your rental car at airports often incurs a surcharge, but the added convenience may justify the extra cost.
  7. Know your payment options: Many car rental companies primarily accept credit cards for payment.
  8. Understand your insurance coverage: Car rental insurance can help you avoid unexpected expenses and provides peace of mind if unforeseen circumstances arise during your trip. It's simple to add car rental insurance when booking through Expedia.
  9. Consider unlimited mileage: If you're planning long road trips, seek rentals that offer unlimited mileage to prevent incurring additional charges.
  10. Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver's license is necessary to rent a car.

If you decide to opt out of the supplier's insurance plan, proof of other coverage will also likely be needed.

Where can I find a San Clemente car rental if I am younger than 25?
Some San Clemente outlets will rent to drivers under 25 years old, and others won't. Age policies differ from supplier to supplier, so you'll want to do some research. Also, find out if there are additional costs. Some outlets will pass on a surcharge to young drivers between 21 and 24. Be sure to read through the terms and conditions to avoid any nasty surprises.
What insurance should I choose for my car rental in San Clemente?
After carefuly planning your getaway, don't skimp on safety — purchase collision protection while booking your San Clemente rental car with Expedia. There are many benefits to this plan, including up to $35,000 in primary coverage for theft, vandalism and collision damage. Plus, with no deductible and round-the-clock emergency assistance, you'll be able to breathe a little easier if the unexpected occurs.
Can I drive in San Clemente with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a driver's license issued in Costa Rica, then you may need to acquire an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country to be able to rent a car. Please also consider that if an IDP is required, it has no validity on its own. You'll have 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 vehicle matches the name on your driver's license and passport. A few other things to note for international car rentals are:
  • Age restrictions: You must be at least 25 in many countries to rent a car. If you're younger than that, 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 you can rent.
  • Driving limitations: Make sure you read the fine print before getting behind the wheel. Usually, you can't cross country borders, drive on ferries or on certain types of rugged terrain with a rental vehicle.
