Frequently asked questions

Can I rent a car from San Diego Intl. Airport (SAN)?
The rental car counters at San Diego Intl. Airport (SAN) can be found at the Rental Car Centre. Here you'll be able to reserve a set of wheels at Nu Car Rental, Pacific or ZipCar. Hertz and EZ also offer some exceptional deals.
What happens if I need to cancel my East County car reservation?
We've all been faced with times when even our best-laid plans get upended. That's why we offer a full refund on most prepaid rentals if cancelled at least six hours ahead of picking up the car. Be sure to double-check the cancellation policy — there are some instances where it's not an option. Can't find the details there? Our Customer Service Portal has more useful information.
What types of cars can I rent in East County?
Crowded city streets and tight parking spaces are no problem for an economy car — the most commonly booked type of rental in East County. Hop behind the wheel of one of these and manoeuvre around traffic like a dream. Reliable, affordable and good on gas, these small cars pack plenty of punch. But East County can be explored in almost any sort of rental you like. Compact, full-size and premium vehicles are some other options to choose from.
How do I find the best car rental deals in East County with Expedia?
Whatever type of ride you're looking for, Expedia will help you score the best deal. Simply compare offers from top rental suppliers and select the option that's perfect for you. Love to drive away with even bigger savings? Combine your East County car rental with hotel or flight bookings.
How old do you have to be to rent a car in East County?
Rental car rules in East County require drivers to be 21 and above. Are you a younger driver? A few surcharges and restrictions may apply. Rental suppliers impose what's known as a young driver surcharge, which is an extra fee to the car rental cost. Restrictions usually apply to the classes of cars available to young people too. Age limits may vary between providers, so check before you book.
What do you need to rent a car in East County?
While requirements can differ between car rental outlets in East County, the two main things you'll need are a valid driver's licence and a credit card. You don't need to take out insurance with your rental company. However, proof of your own coverage may be necessary.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in East County?
Yes, and you can find your ideal set of wheels on our long-term car rental deals page. Simply enter your trip details and we'll show you fabulous options from a range of trustworthy providers.
Where can I find an East County car rental if I am younger than 25?
You'll need to investigate the age policy of the East County rental suppliers you're considering. If you're under the age of 25  some companies will charge extra fees. It's useful to know about this before collecting the vehicle so you can plan your budget accordingly. Every rental car company has its own policies for young drivers, so it'd be wise to do your research.
