What do you need to rent a car in San Francisco?
Any rental company you select will need these two things — a current driver’s license and credit card. If you’d like to opt out of the provider’s insurance plan, proof of other coverage will also likely be needed. Read your policy thoroughly so you know what to bring when it’s time to pick up the keys.
Can I drive in San Francisco with my U.S. Driver's license?
A valid U.S. License won’t be enough for you to take the wheel in San Francisco. You’re likely to also need an International Driving Permit which features your name, photo and driver information. Apply for one before your departure date.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in San Francisco?
Yes, which means you won’t have to rebook a rental car halfway through your vacation. Visit our long-term car rental deals page, enter your travel dates and book a ride that’s all yours for the duration of your escape.
Where can I find a San Francisco car rental if I am younger than 25?
Some San Francisco outlets will rent cars to drivers under 25, and others won’t. Policies differ from supplier to supplier, so you should do your homework. Also, find out if there are extra costs. Some outlets will have a surcharge for young customers between the ages of 21 and 24. Make sure you read through the terms and conditions to avoid any surprise fees.
