Rules may differ between suppliers, so read the fine print carefully.

Age policies are different between rental suppliers, so you'll have to do a bit of research. Managed to find a San Francisco outlet that does rent to drivers under the age of 25? Great news! Just keep in mind that some companies charge extra fees to drivers between the ages of 21 and 24. The fine print of each rental car you're interested in should have all the information you need.
What insurance should I choose for my car rental in San Francisco?
A comprehensive insurance policy is a great idea for your upcoming San Francisco escape. That's why we suggest adding collision protection while booking your rental car with Expedia. This insures your vehicle against theft, vandalism and collision damage. Some destinations may also require a minimum level of liability insurance. It's possible that this is included in your rental price or your personal auto insurance, so check what you're covered for and whether you need it.
Can I drive in San Francisco with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a driver's license issued in Spain, then you might need to get an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country to be allowed to rent a car. You should also be aware that if an IDP is required, it won't be valid on its own. You'll need to show your current license your passport and other forms of documentation as well. Lastly, it's important that the credit card used to book the rental matches the name on your driver's license and passport. A few other things to note to rent a car internationally are:

  • Age restrictions: You need to be 25 or over 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 what kinds of cars you can rent.
  • Driving limitations: Be sure to read the fine print before you drive off the lot. Typically, you can't cross country borders, drive onto ferries or off road with a rental car.
