How old do you have to be to rent a car in San Francisco?
The minimum age to rent a car in San Francisco is 21. An extra fee for young drivers applies, so check before you book and factor in any additional costs. There may also be restrictions on the types of vehicles available to young drivers. For example, some outlets will only rent out economy, compact and medium-sized cars to young motorists. Rules may vary between companies, so be sure to read the fine print carefully.
What do you need to rent a car in San Francisco?
Any home company you select will ask for these two things — a valid driver's license 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 your policy so you know what to bring with you to the home counter.
What side of the road do you drive on in San Francisco?
Traffic drives on the right and passes on the left in Argentina — the same side as in the States. Motoring around San Francisco won't be exactly the same as home, though. We recommend brushing up on the local road rules.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in San Francisco?
You can, and the wonderful news is suppliers often offer lower prices the longer you rent. Look up our long-term car rental deals in San Francisco and drive away with an impressive bargain.
Where can I find a San Francisco car rental if I am younger than 25?
If you're a younger driver looking for a home in San Francisco, check the policies of the various home 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 home desk, make sure you know what those charges are if they apply to you.
