It’s still good to scan your policy though as there are some exclusions. If you can’t see any details there, head over to our Customer Service Portal.
What types of cars can I rent in San Mateo?

How old do you have to be to rent a car in San Mateo?

Age limits may vary between companies, so check before booking.
What do you need to rent a car in San Mateo?
While rules can differ between car rental outlets, the two things you’ll need are your driver’s license and a credit card in the same name. You don’t need to take out insurance with your rental company. However, proof of alternative coverage may be necessary.
What side of the road do you drive on in San Mateo?
Like the States, you’ll need to stick to the right in Mexico. But that doesn’t mean other rules are the same. Familiarize yourself with the traffic laws before you arrive in San Mateo.

Where can I find a San Mateo car rental if I am younger than 25?
Age policies differ between rental companies, so be prepared to do a bit of research. Found a San Mateo supplier that does rent to drivers under the age of 25? Terrific news! Just take note that a surcharge often applies to drivers aged between 21 and 24. The fine print of each rental car you’re considering will have all the information you need.
