How do I find the best car rental deals in Rancho Santa Fe with Expedia?
Check out customer reviews and ratings, choose your favourite ride and compare prices from leading providers. Expedia makes it easy to nab the best deal on your rental wheels. Combine your Rancho Santa Fe car rental with flight or hotel bookings and drive away with even more in your wallet.
How old do you have to be to rent a car in Rancho Santa Fe?
In Rancho Santa Fe, the rule is usually 21 years and over. Most companies will charge extra fees for young drivers, which can vary depending on the rental location. Rental agreements for young drivers may restrict certain vehicles, such as large cars, and require comprehensive insurance to be taken out. It's a good idea to read the fine print carefully before booking your wheels.
What do you need to rent a car in Rancho Santa Fe?
Any rental company you choose will require two things — a valid driver's licence and a credit card in your name. If you decide to opt out of the supplier's insurance plan, proof of other coverage may also be needed. Read your policy thoroughly so you know what to bring when it's time to pick up the keys.
What is the cheapest car rental in Rancho Santa Fe?
We looked into prices over the last seven days and found that the lowest daily rate was AU$91. The second lowest price to rent a ride in Rancho Santa Fe was AU$95 a day. These rates were available on Expedia, with a rental starting date within the next year. Prices and availability are subject to change and additional terms apply.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Rancho Santa Fe?
Yes. Expedia partners with trusted suppliers that offer long-term rentals for all categories of cars. Take a look at our long-term car rental deals and discover every turn of Rancho Santa Fe — or beyond!
Where can I find a Rancho Santa Fe car rental if I am younger than 25?
You'll need to look into the age policy of the Rancho Santa Fe rental providers you're considering. If you're under the age of 25, some outlets will charge extra fees. It's ideal to know about this before arriving at the desk so you can have the funds ready. Every rental car company has its own rules for younger drivers, so it pays to do your research.
Can I drive in Rancho Santa Fe with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a driver's license from the U.S, then you may need to organise an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your country of residence before starting the home process. If you find that an IDP is required, be aware that you'll also have to show your valid driver's license and your passport or other form of ID. Lastly, your credit card used to rent the vehicle must also match the name on your driver's license and passport in order to finalize your car rental. Some additional requirements for renting a car in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You need to be 25 or older in many states in order to rent a car, although in some places the minimum age is 21. We recommend checking local rules and regulations, as well as with the company you're renting from before you go to understand all the regulations that may apply to you.
  • Driving limitations: Make sure you read the fine print before you drive off the lot so you can avoid unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the U.S, you usually can't cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, use car ferries or traverse off-road areas with your home vehicle. Please read all the rules and regulations before you book!
