Frequently asked questions

How much is a rental car per day in San Francisco?
Within the past seven days, the lowest daily price for a budget car rental in San Francisco was $1.
Can I rent a car from La Fortuna (FON-Arenal)?
Alamo is a short commute from the terminal and the only car rental option. Reserve your vehicle sooner rather than later to avoid missing out.
What happens if I need to cancel my San Francisco car reservation?
That won’t be a problem. If you can cancel your prepaid reservation at least six hours before the collection time, you’re likely to qualify for a complete refund. Be sure to scan the car’s cancellation policy as there are some exceptions. Click through to our Customer Service Portal for more info.
What types of cars can I rent in San Francisco?
Ease of parking, affordability and great mileage are just some of the reasons compact vehicles are the number one pick in San Francisco. Their smaller size makes them perfect for city exploring. They’re a good fit for couples, solo travelers and families on a budget. Of course, how you cruise around is totally up to you! Go even smaller with a mini or economy, or give yourself more room with an intermediate or a full-size. Looking for luxury? Browse our premium rides.
Why should I rent a San Francisco car with Expedia?
You’ll find savings for the smart traveler on Expedia. Whether you want something that’ll fit the whole crew or just you, browse the deals from the car rental companies in San Francisco.

How do I find the best car rental deals in San Francisco with Expedia?
Check customer ratings and reviews, choose your car type and compare offers from leading brands. Expedia makes it easy to track down the best deal on your rental wheels. Combine your San Francisco car rental with flight or hotel bookings and hit the road with even more savings.
What do you need to rent a car in San Francisco?
Any rental company you select will require two things — your driver’s license and credit card. If you’d prefer to opt out of the supplier’s insurance plan, proof of other coverage may also be needed. Read your policy so you know what to bring when it’s time to pick up the keys.
What is the cheapest car rental in San Francisco?
Based on prices found over the past seven days, you could’ve sat in the driver’s seat of a rental car for just $1 a day. The second lowest daily rate offered in San Francisco was $2. 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.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in San Francisco?
Yes, and you’re sure to find your ideal ride among our long-term car rental deals. Simply enter your trip dates and we’ll show you incredible offers from a range of leading suppliers.
Where can I find a San Francisco car rental if I am younger than 25?
Age policies differ between rental companies, so you’ll have to do a bit of research. Found a San Francisco supplier that does rent to drivers under 25? Terrific! Just take note that some companies charge extra fees to drivers aged between 21 and 24. The fine print of each rental car you’re looking at should have all the information you need.
What insurance should I choose for my car rental in San Francisco?
A thorough insurance policy is a wise choice for your San Francisco escape. That’s why we suggest opting in to collision protection while booking your car rental with Expedia. This covers your vehicle from theft, accident damage and vandalism. 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.
