What do you need to rent a car in San Francisco?
Renting a car in San Francisco is easy. Usually, all that’s required is a valid driver’s license and a credit card in the same name. After settling on your ride, read the terms and conditions to ensure there are no additional requirements prior to the pickup date.
Can I drive in San Francisco with my U.S. Driver's license?
You can, but if you want to be doubly sure, arrange an International Driving Permit to carry alongside your U.S. License. The permit contains your name, driver’s information and photo and is helpful as an additional form of identification.

Yes, so there’s no need to rebook a rental vehicle halfway through your vacation. Go to our long-term car rental deals page, enter your information and lock in a ride to call your own for the duration of your escape.
Where can I find a San Francisco car rental if I am younger than 25?
Renting a vehicle under the age of 25 in San Francisco often depends on the rental supplier you select. Some businesses have a surcharge for young drivers aged between 21 and 24 years, whereas others may not apply any extra fees for this age group. It’d be smart to read the terms and conditions of your preferred car company to avoid extra charges when picking up your keys.
