Frequently asked questions

How much is a rental car per day in San Mateo?
The most affordable daily rate in San Mateo was based on prices within the last seven days. Have a look at our broad range of options, from small and affordable vehicles to cruise-in-style rides.
What happens if I need to cancel my San Mateo car reservation?
When you cancel at least six hours in advance of collecting the car, the majority of bookings offer a refund. However, not every one is eligible for this, so it’s important to familiarize yourself with the cancellation policy. Look over your itinerary for the specifics or go to our Customer Service Portal to find out more.
What types of cars can I rent in San Mateo?
Full of luxuries and style, it’s no coincidence full-size is the most booked home category in San Mateo. These rides generally feature leather seats, sunroofs and powerful engines. Then there’s all that space — space for the kids, luggage and for any memorabilia you collect during the journey. Looking for something else? We’ve got economy rides, compacts and premiums too. Wherever you’re headed, we’ll have a home that’s right for you.

  • Head to Puerto Vallarta for a fun-filled sightseeing experience. About 121 kilometres from San Mateo, it has many amazing attractions such as Malecon.
  • Around 105 kilometres away, Quimixto is also a hit with wanderers. Make sure you experience Las Caletas Beach while you’re in town. It’s one of the reasons people love visiting this thriving city.

Finding an amazing deal on your San Mateo rental car is easy with Expedia. Choose your preferred ride, add in a few more details and compare prices across popular brands. Why not add flights and hotels to your booking? You’ll unlock terrific discounts when you combine your bookings into a package.
How old do you have to be to rent a car in San Mateo?
Rental car rules in San Mateo require drivers to be 21 and over. Are you a younger driver? Some restrictions and surcharges could apply. Home outlets impose what’s known as a young renter surcharge, which is an extra fee to the rental car cost. Restrictions often apply to the categories of cars young people can rent as well. Age limits may vary between companies, so check before booking.
What do you need to rent a car in San Mateo?
While rules can differ between car rental outlets, the two things you’ll need are your driver’s license and a credit card in the same name. You don’t need to take out insurance with your home company. However, proof of alternative coverage may be necessary.
What side of the road do you drive on in San Mateo?
Like the States, you’ll need to stick to the right in Mexico. But that doesn’t mean other rules are the same. Familiarize yourself with the traffic laws before you arrive in San Mateo.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in San Mateo?
Whether you have plans to stay in San Mateo or explore what’s beyond, you can book a long-term holiday home with Expedia. Enter your trip dates and pick-up/drop-off locations and we’ll help you find excellent long-term car rental deals.
Where can I find a San Mateo car rental if I am younger than 25?
Age policies differ between holiday home companies, so be prepared to do a bit of research. Found a San Mateo supplier that does rent to drivers under the age of 25? Terrific news! Just take note that a surcharge often applies to drivers aged between 21 and 24. The fine print of each holiday home car you’re considering will have all the information you need.
