What do you need to rent a car in Downtown San Luis Obispo?

Where can I find a Downtown San Luis Obispo car rental if I am younger than 25?

Some businesses have a surcharge for drivers between 21 and 24 years of age, however others may not apply any extra costs for this age range.

What insurance should I choose for my car rental in Downtown San Luis Obispo?
A thorough insurance plan is a wise choice for your upcoming Downtown San Luis Obispo escape. That's why we recommend opting in to collision protection while reserving your rental car with Expedia. This covers your vehicle from theft, vandalism and accident damage. Some destinations may need you to have a minimum level of liability insurance. This may already be included in your rental price or your own auto insurance, so check what you're covered for and whether you need it.
