Where can I go on a road trip from San Francisco?

  • Ormoc is around 75 miles from San Francisco. Renowned tourist attractions like Ormoc City Superdome should be at the top of your list while you're in town.

How old do you have to be to rent a car in San Francisco?
San Francisco requires drivers to be 21 and over to be able to rent a car. However, young drivers can expect a surcharge and some restrictions on choice. Many outlets impose a young renter fee in addition to the usual car rental rate. This covers the higher risk of damage or accident. While many car categories (like mid-size and compact) are available to young renters, restrictions usually apply to specialty cars.
What do you need to rent a car in San Francisco?
A current driver's license and a credit card in the same name are two essentials. Don't want to take out the company's insurance plan? In that case, you may also require proof of other coverage. Rules can differ between suppliers, so have a thorough read of your policy.
What side of the road do you drive on in San Francisco?
Like the States, stick to the right in Philippines. But that doesn't mean other rules are the same. Brush up on the local traffic regulations before you hit the road in San Francisco.

Where can I find a San Francisco car rental if I am younger than 25?
Age policies are different between rental companies, so you'll have to do a bit of homework. Managed to find a San Francisco supplier that does rent to under 25s? Terrific! Just take note that extra fees often apply 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?
After perfectly planning your road trip, don't scrimp on safety — choose collision protection while reserving your San Francisco rental vehicle with Expedia. There are plenty of benefits to this plan, including up to $35,000 in primary coverage for accident damage, theft and vandalism. Plus, with a zero-dollar deductible and 24-hour emergency help, you can breathe a little easier if a mishap occurs.
Can I drive in San Francisco with my current driver's license?
If you don't possess a driver's license issued in Philippines, then you may need to acquire an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country in order to rent a car. Also consider that if an IDP is required, it won't be valid on its own. You'll be asked to show your current license your passport and other forms of ID as well. Lastly, make sure the credit card used to book the rental matches the name on your license and passport. Some other requirements to rent a car internationally are:

  • Age restrictions: You'll need to be 25 or over in most places 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 available to rent.
  • Driving limitations: Be sure to read the fine print before you drive off the lot. Usually, you can't cross country borders, drive onto ferries or on off-road areas with a rental vehicle.
