How old do you have to be to rent a car in San Mateo?
In San Mateo, the requirement is 21 and over. Most outlets will charge extra fees for young drivers, which can vary based on the rental location. Rental policies for young drivers may restrict certain vehicles, such as specialty cars, and require comprehensive insurance. Remember to check the fine print before locking in your ride.
What do you need to rent a car in San Mateo?
Most rental companies will require two things — a current driver's license and a credit card in your name. If you'd prefer to opt out of the provider's insurance plan, proof of your own coverage may also be needed. Check your policy so you know what to bring when it's time to collect your wheels.
What is the cheapest car rental in San Mateo?
$36 and $37 were the lowest daily rates picked up by car renters in San Mateo within the past seven days. 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 Mateo?
You can, and the wonderful news is companies often offer lower rates the longer you rent. Check out our long-term car rental deals in San Mateo and drive off with an amazing bargain.
Where can I find a San Mateo car rental if I am younger than 25?
Some San Mateo companies will rent to drivers under 25 years old, and others won't. Age policies differ from supplier to supplier, so you'll need to do your homework. Also, find out if there are any extra costs. Some places will pass on a surcharge to young drivers between 21 and 24. Make sure you read through the terms and conditions to avoid any nasty surprises.
What insurance should I choose for my car rental in San Mateo?
Start your road trip on the right foot by purchasing Expedia's collision protection. While there are all kinds of rental car insurance, this is one you'll need to have. It provides primary coverage for collision damage, vandalism and theft up to $35,000, as well as round-the-clock emergency support. Don't wait until you get to the rental counter to insure your ride. Opt in to collision protection while booking your San Mateo ride with Expedia and save time and money.
