Frequently asked questions

What happens if I need to cancel my Bay Area car reservation?
Check through your policy to be certain, but almost all prepaid reservations qualify for a full refund if you advise us a minimum of six hours prior to collecting the car. There are some exceptions though. Your confirmation will have more information, or just visit our Customer Service Portal.
What types of cars can I rent in Bay Area?
Whatever suits your style! Go for a mid-size or full-size if you're travelling with the family, or scale up to a premium for a top-of-the-range ride. Or, choose an economy vehicle — the most popular rental in Bay Area. Affordable and with excellent mileage, they're perfect for singles, couples or anyone else who doesn't need a whole lot of room. They're particularly suited to exploring cities. Zipping into narrow parking spots will be a piece of cake!

How old do you have to be to rent a car in Bay Area?
You need to be 21 and over to take the wheel of a rental car in Bay Area. Keep in mind that young drivers may only be able to rent from a few car categories, such as economy, compact and medium size. Higher age limits generally apply for specialty and luxury vehicles. Many companies will also charge a young renter fee. Read the rules carefully before clicking the book button and factor any surcharge into your budget.
What do you need to rent a car in Bay Area?
You'll need to present your driver's licence and a credit card in your name when you get to the rental counter. Before pickup, check with your chosen rental company whether other documentation is needed. For example, you may also need to show proof of insurance.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Bay Area?
You can, and the great news is companies often offer lower rates the longer your rental term. Scroll through our long-term car rental deals in Bay Area and drive off with an unbeatable bargain.
Where can I find a Bay Area car rental if I am younger than 25?
You'll need to investigate the age policy of the Bay Area rental providers you're interested in. If you're under 25 years of age, some will charge additional costs. It's useful to know this before collecting the vehicle so you can tailor your budget accordingly. Every rental car company has its own policies for young drivers, so it'd be wise to do your research.
What insurance should I choose for my car rental in Bay Area?
For a secure, stress-free trip, add Expedia's collision damage protection while booking your rental car. This insurance covers your vehicle against collision damage, theft and vandalism. It also offers 24/7 emergency support in times of need. Opt in to this plan while finalizing your Bay Area ride with Expedia and save money and time at the rental desk.
