Frequently asked questions

What happens if I need to cancel my San Francisco car reservation?
When you cancel at least six hours before the pickup time, the majority of prepaid reservations offer a total refund. However, not every one is eligible for this, so it’s important to understand the rental agreement. Read through your confirmation for the details or head to our Customer Service Portal to find out more.

What do you need to rent a car in San Francisco?
Renting a car in San Francisco is easy as pie. Usually, all that’s required is a valid driver’s license and a credit card. Once you’ve settled on a great set of wheels, read the terms and conditions to make sure there are no further requirements prior to the pickup date.
Can I drive in San Francisco with my U.S. Driver's license?
Yes, your current U.S. License is all you need to legally drive in San Francisco. But if you’re the type of adventurer who prefers to be on the safe side, get yourself an International Driving Permit. Apply for it before you leave home.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in San Francisco?
You can. We partner with trusted companies that offer long-term rentals for many car classes. Pick up one of our long-term car rental deals and discover every square inch of San Francisco — or beyond!
Where can I find a San Francisco car rental if I am younger than 25?
You’ll need to look into the age policy of the San Francisco rental suppliers you’re considering. If you’re under 25, some companies will charge extra fees. It’s useful to know about this in advance so you can tailor your budget accordingly. Each rental car company has its own policies for young drivers, so be sure to do your research.
