Car Rental Bay Area

Expedia enjoys knocking down the barriers to travel, that’s why we give you the flexibility to reserve your wheels without paying in advance. With our Book Now Pay Later option, you can simply hand over a valid credit card to pay the cost in full at the pickup spot. It doesn’t get easier than that! The car rental company will also put a hold on your credit card for the amount of the security deposit. For some cheaper deals online, you may have to pay at the time of booking. Remember to take note of which payment options are available for your choice of rental car.

We’re aware that things can change at short notice. That’s why a large number of reservations offer a total refund if you cancel six hours prior to the collection time. Your rental policy should have all the info you need. If you can’t see the answer there, our Customer Service Portal is always here to help.

Rental vehicle rules in Bay Area require drivers to be 21 and older. Are you a younger driver? Some restrictions and surcharges may apply. Rental outlets impose what is known as a young renter surcharge, which is an extra fee to the rental car cost. Restrictions generally apply to the classes of cars available to young people too. Age limits may vary between providers, so check before you book.

Any rental company you choose will ask for these two things — your driver’s license and a credit card in your name. If you decide to opt out of the provider’s insurance plan, proof of other coverage will also likely be needed. Check your policy so you know what to bring when it’s time to pick up your ride.

Some Bay Area providers will rent cars to drivers under 25, and others won’t. Policies differ between suppliers, so you’ll need to do some research. Also, find out if there are any extra costs. Some businesses will apply a surcharge to young drivers between 21 and 24. Always check the terms and conditions to avoid any surprise fees.
