How old do you have to be to rent a car in San Mateo?
San Mateo requires drivers to be at least 21 to be able to rent a vehicle. However, young drivers can expect a surcharge and some restrictions on choice. Most suppliers impose a daily young renter fee on top of the usual car rental rate. This helps cover the higher risk of accident or damage. While many car categories (like economy and compact) are available to young drivers, restrictions generally apply to luxury and specialty vehicles.
What do you need to rent a car in San Mateo?
While rules may differ between rental car outlets, the two main things you'll need are a valid driver's license and a credit card. You don't need to take out auto insurance with your rental provider. However, proof of your own coverage may be necessary.
What side of the road do you drive on in San Mateo?
Whether you're hanging out in San Mateo or heading off on a road trip around Philippines, you'll be driving on the right side. While this is obviously the same as the States, there will be some differences in traffic regulations.
What is the cheapest car rental in San Mateo?
Based on prices within the past seven days, you could've slid into the driver's seat of a rental car for just $89 per day. The second lowest daily rate in San Mateo was $164. 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.

Where can I find a San Mateo car rental if I am younger than 25?
If you're a younger driver hoping to rent a vehicle in San Mateo, you'll need to check the terms and conditions of the rental companies you're interested in. Some may rent to drivers under the age of 25, some may not. There may be additional fees if you're between 21 and 24 years of age. To avoid any surprises on pickup, make sure you know what those charges are if they apply to you.
What insurance should I choose for my car rental in San Mateo?
Purchase collision protection while booking your San Mateo rental car with Expedia. This covers your vehicle against vandalism, theft and accident damage throughout your road trip. Offering up to $35,000 in primary coverage and 24-hour emergency support, you can take the wheel knowing you'll be covered if the unexpected occurs. You can opt in to this insurance while reserving your rental vehicle.
Can I drive in San Mateo with my current driver's license?
If you don't possess a driver's license issued in Philippines, then you may need to apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your place of residence to be allowed to rent a car. You should also note that if you do need an IDP, it has no validity on its own. You'll need to show your driver's license from your home country your passport and other forms of identification as well. Lastly, make sure 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 must be at least 25 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 vehicles you can rent.
  • Driving limitations: Make sure you read the rules and regulations before you drive off the lot. Typically, you can't cross country borders, drive on ferries or go off-roading with a rental car.
