What you need to know for your San Diego car rental

When you visit San Diego, you want to see every bit of landscape and culture at your fingertips.

When you want to see a late night show or early morning sunrise off the beaten path, your car makes that possible too.

Frequently asked questions

What happens if I need to cancel my San Diego car reservation?
If you need to switch your plans around, nearly all reservations are eligible for a total refund. Cancellations will need to be made a minimum of six hours before the arranged pickup time. Read through your cancellation policy for any exemptions. Your confirmation will have more details, or simply click through to our Customer Service Portal for more info.
How do I find the best car rental deals in San Diego with Expedia?
Finding the best deal on your San Diego rental car is easy with Expedia. Choose your preferred car type, add some details and compare the offers from big-name suppliers. Why not add flights and hotels to your booking? You'll score even bigger savings when you create a holiday package.
What do you need to rent a car in San Diego?
Any rental company you choose will need these two things — a valid driver's licence and credit card. If you'd prefer to opt out of the supplier's insurance plan, proof of your own coverage will also likely be needed. Read your policy so you know what to bring when it's time to pick up the keys.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in San Diego?
Check out our long-term car rental deals page, enter your trip details and then secure your perfect ride. Whether you're staying in San Diego or road-tripping about, Expedia will help you find a long-term rental at an incredible rate.
Where can I find a San Diego car rental if I am younger than 25?
This will depend on the rental companies operating in San Diego. They often have different policies when it comes to minimum ages. If you've found an outlet that does cater to drivers under the age of 25, take note that extra costs may apply. Conduct some research into what those charges could be before booking your rental car.
