It's easy to pick up the best deal with Expedia. Simply choose your car type, select your dates and preferred pickup and drop-off locations, and browse offers from popular rental brands. Make even bigger savings when you bundle your San Mateo car rental with flight or hotel bookings.
How old do you have to be to rent a car in San Mateo?
San Mateo requires drivers to be at least 21 before they can rent a vehicle. However, young drivers can expect an extra charge and some restrictions. Most suppliers impose a young renter fee on top of the standard rental rate. This helps cover the higher risk of accident or damage. While many car categories (like mid-size and compact) are available to young renters, restrictions generally apply to specialty cars.
What do you need to rent a car in San Mateo?
Most of the time, all you'll need is a valid driver's license and a credit card in the same name when picking up the car. Proof of coverage may also be needed if you'd prefer to opt out of the company's insurance plan. These requirements may differ between providers, so it's a good idea to check before you book.
What side of the road do you drive on in San Mateo?
Vehicles drive on the right and pass on the left in Mexico — the same as in the U.S. Road-tripping around San Mateo won't be exactly like home, though. You should familiarize yourself with the local road rules.

Where can I find a San Mateo car rental if I am younger than 25?
The ability to rent a car if you're under 25 years in San Mateo often depends on the rental company you choose. Some businesses apply a surcharge for customers between 21 and 24 years old, yet others may not have any additional fees for this age range. Ensure you read the terms and conditions of your selected rental company to avoid excessive charges at the rental desk.
What insurance should I choose for my car rental in San Mateo?
We recommend purchasing collision damage protection while reserving your San Mateo rental car with Expedia. This covers your ride against vandalism, theft and accident damage throughout your road trip. Offering up to $35,000 in primary coverage and round-the-clock emergency support, you can take the wheel knowing you'll be covered for possible mishaps. It's easy to opt in to this plan 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 Mexico, then you might need to get an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country in order to rent a car. It's also important to note that if you do need an IDP, it has no validity on its own. You'll have to show your current license your passport and other forms of documentation as well. Lastly, make sure the credit card you used to book the rental vehicle matches the name on your license and passport. Some other requirements for international car rentals are:

  • Age restrictions: You must be at least 25 in most 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 the types of vehicles you can rent.
  • Driving limitations: Be sure to read the fine print before getting behind the wheel. Typically, you can't cross country borders, drive on ferries or go off-roading with a rental car.
