Frequently asked questions

What happens if I need to cancel my Bay Area car reservation?
You should receive a total refund on your reservation if you advise us more than six hours ahead of pickup. Check the rental agreement for all the information. Our Customer Service Portal may have what you need too.
What types of cars can I rent in Bay Area?
Whatever suits your style! Go for an intermediate or full-size if you're with the family, or level up to a premium for a top-of-the-range ride. Or, choose an economy vehicle — the most booked rental in Bay Area. Affordable and with excellent mileage, they're ideal for solo travelers, couples or anyone else who doesn't need a whole lot of room. They're especially suited to driving around cities. Slipping into cramped parking spots will be a snap!
How do I find the best car rental deals in Bay Area with Expedia?
Check out customer ratings and reviews, choose your preferred ride and compare prices from the most popular suppliers. Expedia makes it easy to get the best deal on your rental wheels. Bundle your Bay Area car rental with hotel or flight bookings and cruise off with even greater savings.
How old do you have to be to rent a car in Bay Area?
In Bay Area, the requirement is 21 years of age and over. Most companies will charge additional fees for young drivers, which can vary depending on the rental location. Rental policies for young drivers may include restrictions for certain vehicles, such as luxury cars, and require inclusive insurance to be taken out. Remember to read the fine print carefully before locking in your ride.
What do you need to rent a car in Bay Area?
Most rental companies will need these two things — your driver's license and credit card. If you decide to opt out of the supplier's insurance plan, proof of other coverage will also likely be needed. Read your policy so you know what to bring when it's time to collect your car.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Bay Area?
Expedia makes it a breeze to score a quality long-term rental in Bay Area. Just click through to our long-term car rental deals page, enter your trip preferences and compare your options.
Where can I find a Bay Area car rental if I am younger than 25?
This depends on the car rental companies that are in Bay Area. 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, keep in mind that extra fees may apply. Conduct some research into what those charges could be before booking your rental.
What insurance should I choose for my car rental in Bay Area?
A thorough insurance policy is a wise idea for your upcoming Bay Area trip. That's why we recommend purchasing collision protection while reserving your car rental with Expedia. This insures your vehicle against theft, accident damage and vandalism. Some destinations may require a minimum level of liability insurance. This might be included in your rental cost or your own auto insurance, so check what you're covered for.
