Frequently asked questions

How much is a rental car per day in San Rafael?
Making your way around San Rafael doesn't have to cost an arm and a leg, with daily car rental prices starting at $36 within the past seven days.
What happens if I need to cancel my San Rafael car reservation?
No need to stress. You should be eligible for a complete refund if you cancel a minimum of six hours ahead of the arranged pickup time. Your itinerary contains information about this, as does our Customer Service Portal. Not all prepaid rentals result in a refund though, so it's a good idea to scan the car's cancellation policy.
What types of cars can I rent in San Rafael?
Reasonably priced, a cinch to handle and good on mileage, it's little wonder compact vehicles are the most sought-after type of rental in San Rafael. Explore this city in one of these and you'll be able to park in tight spaces and easily dart around busy streets. A compact is ideal for city breaks or shorter road trips. But they're not your only choice. Go even smaller with an economy ride or bigger with a full-size or premium — the choice is all yours!

  • Roughly 50 mi from San Rafael, Santa Rosa is on the to-do list of many travelers. With leading sights such as Enchanted Kingdom, there's no shortage of places to visit here.
