What types of cars can I rent in San Marcos?
Inexpensive, a dream to handle and delivering great mileage, it's no wonder compact cars are the most sought-after rental category in San Marcos. Tour this city in one of these and you'll be able to fit into tight parking spaces and easily navigate busy streets. A compact is perfect for city breaks or short road trips. But they're not your only options. Go even smaller with an economy model or bigger with a full-size or premium — the choice is all yours!

Be aware that young drivers may be restricted to renting from a few car categories, such as compact, economy and medium size. Higher age limits generally apply for premium and specialty vehicles. Most suppliers will also charge an additional fee for young renters. Read through the rules before clicking book and factor any extra fees into your holiday budget.
What do you need to rent a car in San Marcos?

Where can I find a San Marcos car rental if I am younger than 25?
Some San Marcos outlets will rent cars to drivers under 25 years of age, and others won't. Policies differ from supplier to supplier, so you'll need to do your homework. Also, find out if there are additional costs. Some businesses will have a surcharge for young drivers between 21 and 24. Make sure you read through the terms and conditions to avoid any surprise fees.
Can I drive in San Marcos with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a license from the United States, then you might need to apply for 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 current driver's license and your passport or other forms of ID. Lastly, the credit card used to rent the car must match the name on your license and passport in order to finalize your car rental. Additional requirements for car rentals in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You'll need to be 25 or older in many states in order to rent a car, although in some places, the minimum age is 21 years. We recommend checking local rules and regulations, as well as with the rental car company before you travel to understand all the regulations that may apply to you.
  • Driving limitations: Don't forget to read the fine print before you drive off the lot so you can avoid unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the United States, you typically can't cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, drive onto ferries or traverse rough terrain with a rental car. Please read the regulations before booking!
