Frequently asked questions

What happens if I need to cancel my San Mateo car reservation?
No need to stress. You should be eligible for a complete refund if you cancel at least six hours prior to the collection time. Your confirmation contains information about this, as does our Customer Service Portal. Not all prepaid rentals will receive a refund though, so you may want to scan the car rental policy.

What do you need to rent a car in San Mateo?
Generally, all you’ll need is a current driver’s license and credit card in your name when picking up the car. Proof of coverage may also be needed if you’d like to opt out of the company’s insurance policy. Rules often differ between providers, so it’s always a good idea to check in advance.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in San Mateo?
Whether you have plans to stay in San Mateo or explore what’s beyond, you can reserve a long-term rental with Expedia. Enter your trip information and pick-up/drop-off locations and we’ll find you affordable long-term car rental deals.
Where can I find a San Mateo car rental if I am younger than 25?
You’ll need to look up the age policy of the San Mateo rental suppliers you’re considering. If you’re under 25 years old, be mindful that some will charge additional fees. It’s handy to know about this in advance so you can tailor your budget accordingly. Each rental car company has its own terms and conditions for young drivers, so do your research.
