Don't forget to double-check your rental policy — there are some cases where it's not an option. Can't find anything there? Our Customer Service Portal is always here to help.
What types of cars can I rent in San Francisco?
Keep costs low with an economy, splash out on a premium ride or choose something in the middle, like a mid-size. But it's hard to go past a compact vehicle — the number one choice in San Francisco. They're a joy to park and handle, fuel-efficient and a smart idea if you're exploring big cities. An upgrade from economy, you can expect a bit more comfort and room at a price that's still affordable.
Where can I go on a road trip from San Francisco?
San Francisco has plenty to keep you on the move, but don't restrict yourself to only one place. Rent some wheels and hit the road to explore the surrounding area. Here are some great options:

  • Ormoc is around 121 kilometers from San Francisco. Renowned tourist attractions like Ormoc City Superdome should be at the top of your list while you're in town.
  • About 193 kilometers away, Cagayan de Oro is also a favorite with wanderers. Make sure you get to Limketkai Center while you're in town. It's one of the reasons people love staying a while in this buzzing city.
  • Venture into the outdoors and breathe in some fresh air at Sumilon Island Beach. You'll find it around 209 kilometers from San Francisco.

How do I find the best car rental deals in San Francisco with Expedia?
Check out customer ratings and reviews, choose your car type and compare offers from leading brands. Expedia makes it easy to pick up the best deal on your rental wheels. Bundle your San Francisco car rental with hotel or flight bookings and start your road trip with even more savings.
How old do you have to be to rent a car in San Francisco?
San Francisco requires drivers to be 21 and over to be able to rent a car. However, young drivers can expect a surcharge and some restrictions on choice. Many outlets impose a young renter fee in addition to the usual car rental rate. This covers the higher risk of damage or accident. While many car categories (like mid-size and compact) are available to young renters, restrictions usually apply to specialty cars.
What do you need to rent a car in San Francisco?
A current driver's license and a credit card in the same name are two essentials. Don't want to take out the company's insurance plan? In that case, you may also require proof of other coverage. Rules can differ between suppliers, so have a thorough read of your policy.
What side of the road do you drive on in San Francisco?
Like the States, stick to the right in Philippines. But that doesn't mean other rules are the same. Brush up on the local traffic regulations before you hit the road in San Francisco.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in San Francisco?
You can rent a car for a month or even longer in San Francisco, so don't hestitate to extend your hard-earned vacation! Simply enter your trip information into our long-term car rental deals page and book your perfect ride.
Where can I find a San Francisco car rental if I am younger than 25?
Age policies are different between rental companies, so you'll have to do a bit of homework. Managed to find a San Francisco supplier that does rent to under 25s? Terrific! Just take note that extra fees often apply to drivers between the ages of 21 and 24. The fine print of each rental car you're interested in should have all the information you need.
