Good news! You should be given a total refund if you notify us at least six hours ahead of the arranged pickup time. Your confirmation contains details about this, as does our Customer Service Portal. Not all bookings result in a refund though, so you may want to read through the rental agreement.

All you have to do is choose your favorite ride, select your dates and preferred pickup and drop-off locations, and browse offers from all the trusted brands. Save even more when you bundle your San Francisco car rental with flight or hotel bookings.
How old do you have to be to rent a car in San Francisco?
Generally, you need to be 18 years of age and over in San Francisco. You should be aware that most outlets will charge a young renter fee. Check before you pick your ride, as rules may differ between rental car providers. Keep in mind that if you're planning to rent a luxury vehicle or a larger car like an SUV, rules may require drivers to be older than 18.
What do you need to rent a car in San Francisco?
Your driver's license and a credit card in the same name are two essentials. Opting out of the company's insurance plan? In that case, you may also require proof of your own coverage. Rules may differ from rental company to rental company, so read your policy thoroughly.
What is the cheapest car rental in San Francisco?
$37 and $49 were the lowest daily prices for rental cars in San Francisco within the past seven days. 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 Francisco?
Expedia makes it easy to find a quality long-term rental in San Francisco. Simply head to our long-term car rental deals page, enter your trip information and compare the offers.
Where can I find a San Francisco car rental if I am younger than 25?
Age policies are different between rental companies, so be prepared to do a bit of homework. Managed to find a San Francisco supplier that does rent to drivers under 25? Terrific! Just take note that extra charges often apply to drivers between 21 and 24. The terms and conditions of each rental car you're interested in should have all the information you need.
What insurance should I choose for my car rental in San Francisco?
A comprehensive insurance policy is a fantastic choice for your upcoming San Francisco getaway. That's why we suggest opting in to collision protection while booking your car rental with Expedia. This insures your vehicle against theft, vandalism and collision damage. Some destinations may require you to have a minimum level of liability insurance. It's possible that this is included in your rental cost or your own auto insurance, so check what you're covered for and if you need it.
Can I drive in San Francisco with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a driver's license issued in Colombia, then you might need to acquire an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country to be able to rent a car. You should also be aware 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 ID 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 need to be 25 or over in many countries to rent a car. If you're younger than that, it might 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. You typically can't cross country borders, drive on ferries or on certain types of rugged terrain with a rental vehicle.
