Frequently asked questions

How much is a rental car per day in San Antonio?
You'll get bang for your buck in San Antonio, with car rental prices within the past seven days starting from as low as $1 a day.

Where can I go on a road trip from San Antonio?
San Antonio has plenty to keep you busy, but don't limit yourself to just the one place. Grab a set of wheels and hit the road to explore the wider region. Here are some places to consider:

  • Head off to Liberia for an excellent sightseeing adventure. About 100 miles from San Antonio, it has tons of great attractions like Liberia Parque Central.
  • About 45 miles away, Puntarenas is also a favorite with travelers. Set aside time to take in Puntarenas Pier while you're in town. It's one of the reasons people love visiting this city.
  • Head to Playa Coco to reconnect with nature. Take a picnic to enjoy or just chill out in the fresh air. From San Antonio, it's approximately 130 miles away.

How do I find the best car rental deals in San Antonio with Expedia?
Check customer ratings and reviews, choose your car type and compare prices from the most popular providers. Expedia makes it easy to pick up the best deal on your rental wheels. Combine your San Antonio car rental with hotel or flight bookings and start your road trip with even more savings.
How old do you have to be to rent a car in San Antonio?
The minimum age to rent a vehicle in San Antonio is 21. A surcharge for young drivers typically applies, so check before booking and take into account any extra costs. There may also be restrictions on the types of cars that can be rented by young drivers. For instance, some companies will only rent out economy, compact and medium-sized cars to less-experienced motorists. Requirements may differ between suppliers, so be sure to read the fine print.
What do you need to rent a car in San Antonio?
Most rental companies will ask for these two things — a valid driver's license and credit card. If you'd prefer to opt out of the supplier's insurance plan, proof of other coverage may also be needed. Read your policy so you know what to bring when it's time to pick up the keys.
What is the cheapest car rental in San Antonio?
Based on prices within the past seven days, you could've hopped into the driver's seat of a rental car for just $1 a day. The second lowest daily rate offered in San Antonio was $16. 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 Antonio?
Yes, which means you won't need to rebook a rental vehicle mid-vacation. Click through to our long-term car rental deals page, enter your travel dates and book a ride that's all yours for the duration of your getaway.
Where can I find a San Antonio car rental if I am younger than 25?
You'll need to check the age policy of the San Antonio rental suppliers you're considering. If you're under 25 years old, be aware that some will charge additional fees. It's ideal to know about this in advance so you can plan your budget accordingly. Each rental car company has its own terms and conditions for young drivers, so it'd be wise to do your research.
What insurance should I choose for my car rental in San Antonio?
A comprehensive insurance plan is a wise choice for your San Antonio trip. That's why we recommend purchasing collision protection while organizing your rental car with Expedia. This insures your vehicle against theft, vandalism and accident damage. Some destinations may require you to have a minimum level of liability insurance. This might be included in your rental price or your personal auto insurance, so check what you're covered for.
Can I drive in San Antonio with my current driver's license?
If you don't hold a driver's license issued in Costa Rica, then it's likely you'll need to apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your place of residence to be allowed to rent a car. Please also consider that if an IDP is required, it has no validity on its own. You'll be asked to show your current driver's license your passport and other forms of documentation as well. Lastly, it's important that the credit card you used to book the rental vehicle matches the name on your driver's license and passport. Some other things to note for international car rentals are:

  • Age restrictions: You need to be at least 25 in most countries to rent a car. If you're younger, it may still be possible to rent a car but you'll have to pay a Young Driver's Surcharge. Additional restrictions may also apply to what kinds of cars you can rent.
  • Driving limitations: Be sure to read the fine print before getting behind the wheel. Usually, you can't cross country borders, drive onto ferries or on certain types of rugged terrain with your rental car.
