Why not add flights and hotels to your booking? You'll get access to even more savings when you combine your bookings into a package.
How old do you have to be to rent a car in San Francisco?
Rental car rules in San Francisco require drivers to be at least 21. Are you a young driver? Surcharges and restrictions may apply. Rental providers impose what's known as a young driver surcharge, which is an extra fee to the rental car cost. Restrictions usually apply to the classes of cars available to young motorists as well. Age limits may vary between suppliers, so check before booking.
What do you need to rent a car in San Francisco?
The essentials are your driver's license and a credit card in the same name. Most car rental companies will offer you insurance, which is optional. But you may have to provide proof of alternative coverage if you choose to opt out. Check with your supplier to avoid any hassles.
What side of the road do you drive on in San Francisco?
In San Francisco and around Peru, motorists drive on the right side of the road. While this is the same as in the U.S, remember that there's likely to be different driving rules.
What is the cheapest car rental in San Francisco?
With car rental rates starting as low as and per day in San Francisco within the past seven days, you'll be driving away with your own incredible deal before long. These rates were available on Expedia, with a rental starting date within the next year. Prices and availability are subject to change and additional terms apply.

Head to our long-term car rental deals page, enter your trip details and then reserve your perfect ride. Whether you're basing yourself in San Francisco or venturing beyond, Expedia will help you find a long-term rental at an awesome rate.
Where can I find a San Francisco car rental if I am younger than 25?
If you're a young driver hoping to rent a vehicle in San Francisco, we suggest reading the policies of the car rental companies you're interested in. Some may rent to drivers under 25, some may not. There may be additional costs if you're between 21 and 24 years of age. To avoid any unwanted surprises at the rental desk, make sure you do your research.
What insurance should I choose for my car rental in San Francisco?
A comprehensive insurance plan is a smart idea for your upcoming San Francisco escape. That's why we recommend choosing collision protection while booking your rental car with Expedia. This insures your vehicle against theft, vandalism and collision damage. Some destinations may require a minimum level of liability insurance. This may already be included in your rental cost or your own auto insurance, so check what you're covered for and if you need it.
Can I drive in San Francisco with my current driver's license?
If you don't possess a driver's license issued in Peru, then you'll likely need to get an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your place of residence to be able to rent a car. It's also important to note that if an IDP is required, it won't be valid on its own. You'll have to show your current driver's license 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 license and passport. Some other requirements for international car rentals are:

  • Age restrictions: You need to be 25 or older in most 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 rules and regulations before you drive away. Typically, you can't cross country borders, drive onto ferries or on off-road areas with a rental vehicle.
