Frequently asked questions

What happens if I need to cancel my São Francisco car reservation?
Don't stress. You should receive a total refund if you advise us more than six hours before the arranged pickup time. Your itinerary contains details about this, as does our Customer Service Portal. Not all prepaid bookings will receive a refund though, so you may want to check your car rental policy.

The majority of visitors rent economy vehicles in São Francisco. Motorists love them because they're easy on the wallet. Plus, their small size makes them well-suited to getting around cities, where streets are crowded and parking spots are tight. But economy isn't your only option. Compacts, full-size cars and SUVs can be booked too. Whether you're hanging around São Francisco or headed beyond, we'll have a ride that suits your needs.

How do I find the best car rental deals in São Francisco with Expedia?

How old do you have to be to rent a car in São Francisco?
Drivers 21 and above can road trip around São Francisco in a rental car. If you're a young motorist, a daily surcharge will apply. You'll generally have fewer car categories to choose from, such as economy and compact, and may also be required to take out inclusive insurance. Always enter the correct age of the main driver when booking to learn if any extra fees or restrictions apply.
What do you need to rent a car in São Francisco?
Most rental companies will need these two things — your driver's licence and credit card. If you'd like to opt out of the supplier's insurance plan, proof of other coverage may also be needed. Read through your policy so you know what to bring when it's time to pick up your ride.
What side of the road do you drive on in São Francisco?
Vehicles drive on the right and pass on the left in Brazil — the same side as in the U.S. Travelling around São Francisco won't be exactly the same as home, though. It's a good idea to acquaint yourself with the local road rules.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in São Francisco?
Yes, and you're sure to find your perfect set of wheels among our long-term car rental deals. Just enter your trip dates and we'll list fabulous options from a range of leading suppliers.
Where can I find a São Francisco car rental if I am younger than 25?
If you're a young driver hoping to rent a car in São Francisco, we suggest reading the policies of the various rental companies you're interested in. Some may rent to drivers under the age of 25, some may not. There may be extra fees if you're between 21 and 24 years old. To avoid any surprises at the rental counter, make sure you know what to expect.
