Frequently asked questions

How much is a rental car per day in San Marcos?

Can I rent a car from Austin-Bergstrom Intl. Airport (AUS)?
You'll find a nice selection of rental outlets within a short commute of Austin-Bergstrom Intl. Airport (AUS). EZ Rent-A-Car, Avis, Hertz, Budget and Advantage Rent-A-Car are traveler favorites.
What happens if I need to cancel my San Marcos car reservation?
We understand that having a bit of wiggle room is important. That's why the majority of prepaid reservations offer a full refund if you cancel at least six hours before the pickup time. You may want to read your rental agreement though because there are some exceptions. If you can't see any details there, make your way to our Customer Service Portal.
What types of cars can I rent in San Marcos?
Not too small yet not too big, compact cars are the number one pick for many rental customers in San Marcos. Featuring terrific mileage and easy parking and handling, they're well-suited to zipping around the city. A compact car has slightly more room than an economy vehicle, which means you can cruise around in a little more comfort. Prefer something bigger? Check out our standard, intermediate and full-size options.

How do I find the best car rental deals in San Marcos with Expedia?
Expedia makes it easy and fast to compare costs, offers and rental companies, and to check reviews. Combine your San Marcos car rental with flight or hotel bookings to save even more.
How old do you have to be to rent a car in San Marcos?
You need to be 21 and over to hop behind the wheel of a rental car in San Marcos. Keep in mind that young drivers may be restricted to renting from a few car classes, such as economy and compact. Higher age limits usually apply for larger vehicles like premium SUVs. Most suppliers will also charge a young renter fee. Look up the rules before clicking the book button and factor any extra fees into your budget.
What do you need to rent a car in San Marcos?
A valid driver's license and a credit card in the same name are necessities. Don't want to take out the company's insurance plan? Then there's a good chance you'll also need proof of your own coverage. Rules can differ between rental suppliers, so have a thorough read of your policy.
What is the cheapest car rental in San Marcos?
With car rental rates starting as low as $34 and $36 per day in San Marcos within the past seven days, you'll be driving away with your own incredible deal before long. 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 Marcos?
You can rent a car for a month or even longer in San Marcos, so go ahead and extend your well-deserved vacation! Simply enter your trip details into our long-term car rental deals page and secure your perfect ride.
Where can I find a San Marcos car rental if I am younger than 25?
Age policies are different between rental companies, so be prepared to do a little research. Managed to find a San Marcos outlet that does rent to drivers under 25 years of age? That's great! Just take note that extra charges often apply to drivers aged between 21 and 24. The terms and conditions of each rental car you're considering should have all the details you need.
What insurance should I choose for my car rental in San Marcos?
A comprehensive insurance plan is a good idea for your upcoming San Marcos adventure. That's why we recommend purchasing collision protection while organizing your car rental with Expedia. This covers your vehicle from theft, accident damage and vandalism. Some destinations may need you to have a minimum level of liability insurance. This might be included in your rental price or your own auto insurance, so check what you're covered for and whether you need it.
