How old do you have to be to rent a car in San Francisco?
San Francisco rules state drivers must be 21 and above to rent a vehicle. However, young drivers will be subject to a surcharge and stricter home conditions. Many outlets impose a young renter fee on top of the usual car rental rate. This covers the extra risk of damage or accident. While many car classes (like compact and mid-size) are available to young motorists, restrictions usually apply to premium and specialty cars.
What do you need to rent a car in San Francisco?
Most home companies will ask for these two things — a valid driver’s license and a credit card in your name. If you’d prefer to opt out of the provider’s insurance plan, proof of your own 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 San Francisco?
Roughly two-thirds of countries around the world drive on the right-hand side of the road, and Argentina is one of them. If you’re planning to rent a vehicle in San Francisco, make sure you drive to local conditions for a safe journey.

Where can I find a San Francisco car rental if I am younger than 25?
Age policies are different between home companies, so you’ll have to do a little homework. Managed to find a San Francisco supplier that does rent to under 25s? Great news! Just take note that an extra charge often applies to drivers aged between 21 and 24. The terms and conditions of each rental car you’re considering should have all the information you need.
