Frequently asked questions

How much is a rental car per day in San Francisco?
Daily rental prices were as low as $25 within the past seven days. With rates like this, cruising around San Francisco in your own set of wheels is an affordable and convenient way to see the sights.
Can I rent a car from Licenciado Gustavo Diaz Ordaz Intl. Airport (PVR)?
You can choose from a great range of rental car suppliers within a short commute of the airport. Alamo, Thrifty Car Rental and Payless are top picks for many travelers. Hertz and Budget are a couple of other reliable options.
What happens if I need to cancel my San Francisco car reservation?
We realize that plans change at the last minute. That's why many prepaid bookings offer a complete refund if you cancel six hours in advance of the pickup time. Your rental agreement should have all the details you need. If you can't locate the answer there, our Customer Service Portal is here to help.
Where can I go on a road trip from San Francisco?
San Francisco offers adventures galore, but don't restrict yourself to one place. Grab a set of wheels and hit the open road to explore the surrounding region. Here are a few ideas:

  • Tepic is approximately 60 miles from San Francisco. Well-known tourist attractions like Tepic Cathedral deserve to be at the top of your list while you're in town.
  • Why not enjoy the best of Costa Careyes too? Top attractions to see here include Careyes Beach. Costa Careyes is roughly 100 miles from San Francisco.
  • Visit Olas Altas Beach to discover some local nature. Take a picnic to enjoy or just relax in the fresh air. From San Francisco, it's around 170 miles away.

How do I find the best car rental deals in San Francisco with Expedia?
Nabbing an amazing deal on your San Francisco rental car is a cinch with Expedia. Choose your preferred car type, add some details and compare the offers from leading suppliers. Why not add flights and hotels to your booking? You'll get access to even bigger savings when you combine your bookings into a package.
How old do you have to be to rent a car in San Francisco?
You need to be at least 21 to take the wheel of a rental car in San Francisco. Keep in mind that young drivers may be restricted to renting from a few car classes, such as economy, compact and medium size. Higher age limits generally apply for luxury and specialty vehicles. Additionally, many companies will charge an additional fee for young renters. Read through the rules carefully before clicking the book button and factor any surcharge into your budget.
What do you need to rent a car in San Francisco?
Any rental company you select will require two things — a valid driver's license and a credit card in your name. If you choose to opt out of the supplier's insurance plan, proof of other coverage may also be needed. Check your policy so you know what to bring when it's time to pick up your ride.
What side of the road do you drive on in San Francisco?
Like the States, you'll need to drive on the right in Mexico. However, that doesn't mean that all road rules are the same. Be sure to brush up on the traffic laws before arriving in San Francisco.
What is the cheapest car rental in San Francisco?
The lowest car rental rate in San Francisco within the past seven days was $25 per day. The second best deal snapped up by thrifty travelers was $27. 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?
Expedia makes it a snap to book a long-term car rental in San Francisco. Just click through to our long-term car rental deals page, enter your trip preferences and browse the possibilities.
Where can I find a San Francisco car rental if I am younger than 25?
You'll need to look into the age policy of the San Francisco rental suppliers you're interested in. If you're under the age of 25, be aware that some will charge additional fees. It's good to know this before arriving at the desk so you can tailor your budget accordingly. Every rental car company has its own rules for young drivers, so do your research.
What insurance should I choose for my car rental in San Francisco?
For a stress-free journey, add Expedia's collision protection while booking your rental car. This insurance covers your ride against theft, vandalism and collision damage. It also provides round-the-clock emergency assistance in times of need. Opt in to this insurance while finalizing your San Francisco ride with Expedia and save money and time at the rental desk.
Can I drive in San Francisco with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a driver's license issued in Mexico, then it's likely you'll need to get an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country in order to rent a car. Please also consider that if you do need an IDP, it has no validity on its own. You'll be asked 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 used to book the rental vehicle matches the name on your driver's license and passport. Some additional 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 the types of vehicles available to rent.
  • Driving limitations: Make sure you read the rules and regulations before you drive off the lot. Typically, you can't cross country borders, drive on ferries or on off-road areas with your rental car.
