Why not add flights and hotels to your booking? You'll unlock even bigger savings when you create a vacation package.
How old do you have to be to rent a car in San Francisco?
You'll need to be 21 and over to pick up the keys to a rental car in San Francisco. Be aware that young drivers may only be able to rent from a few car classes, such as economy, compact and medium size. Higher age limits usually apply for luxury and specialty vehicles. Additionally, many companies will charge a fee for young renters. Check the rules before clicking book and factor any surcharge into your vacation budget.
What do you need to rent a car in San Francisco?
Be prepared to present a valid driver's license and a credit card at the rental counter. Prior to the pickup date, check with your rental provider whether anything else is needed. For example, you may also need to provide proof of insurance.
What side of the road do you drive on in San Francisco?
Vehicles drive on the right and pass on the left in Spain — the same as in the U.S. Cruising around San Francisco won't be exactly like home, though. You should familiarize yourself with the local traffic rules.

Where can I find a San Francisco car rental if I am younger than 25?
The ability to rent a vehicle if you're under 25 years in San Francisco often depends on the rental provider you choose. Some businesses apply a surcharge for drivers between 21 and 24 years of age, but others may not apply any additional costs for this age range. Be sure to go through the terms and conditions of your chosen rental company to escape unnecessary costs at the rental desk.
What insurance should I choose for my car rental in San Francisco?
For a secure, stress-free getaway, add Expedia's collision damage protection to your car rental reservation. This insurance covers your ride against theft, vandalism and collision damage. It also offers customers 24-hour emergency assistance in times of need. Opt in to this plan while finalizing your San Francisco vehicle with Expedia and save time and money at the rental desk.
Can I drive in San Francisco with my current driver's license?
If you don't hold a driver's license issued in Spain, then you might need to acquire an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country in order to rent a car. You should also note that if you do need an IDP, it won't be valid on its own. You'll need 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. A few other things to note for international car rentals are:

  • Age restrictions: You'll need to be 25 or over in many countries to rent a car. If you're younger than that, 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 the types 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 on ferries or go off-roading with a rental vehicle.
