Frequently asked questions

Can I rent a car from San Diego Intl. Airport (SAN)?
Yes, and you won't be short on choice. After you touch down and collect your luggage, simply walk to the rental car centre at the Rental Car Centre. Here you can select from fantastic companies like Nu Car Rental, Pacific and ZipCar. If you'd like some more options, see what's on offer with Hertz and EZ.
What happens if I need to cancel my San Diego County car reservation?
When you cancel at least six hours in advance of pickup, the majority of reservations qualify for a total refund. However, not every one is eligible for this, so it's important to understand your policy. Look over your booking for the details or head to our Customer Service Portal for more information.
How do I find the best car rental deals in San Diego County with Expedia?
Expedia makes it simple to compare fees, offers and rental companies, and to check customer ratings. Combine your San Diego County car rental with hotel or flight bookings to make even bigger savings.
How old do you have to be to rent a car in San Diego County?
You need to be at least 21 to grab the keys to a rental car in San Diego County. Take note that young drivers may be restricted to renting from a few car classes, such as economy, compact and medium size. Higher age limits generally apply for specialty and premium vehicles. Many companies will also charge an additional fee for young renters. Read through the rules before hitting the book button and factor any extra fees into your budget.
What do you need to rent a car in San Diego County?
Any rental company you select will ask for these two things — your 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 thoroughly so you know what to bring with you to the rental counter.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in San Diego County?
You can. Expedia partners with quality companies that offer long-term rentals for a wide range of cars. Head to our long-term car rental deals and explore every corner of San Diego County — or way beyond!
Where can I find a San Diego County car rental if I am younger than 25?
If you're a younger driver looking to rent a car in San Diego County, it'd be wise to check the terms and conditions of the car rental companies you're interested in. Some may rent to drivers under the age of 25, some may not. Surcharges may apply if you're between 21 and 24 years old. To escape any unpleasant surprises at the rental counter, make sure you know what to expect.
