Can I hire a car from San Diego Intl. Airport (SAN)?

What happens if I need to cancel my El Cajon car reservation?
There are always times when plans get upended. That's why we give a full refund on many prepaid bookings if you notify us at least six hours prior to pick-up. Don't forget to double-check your policy — in some cases it's not offered. Can't find the details there? Our Customer Service Portal has more useful information.

How do I find the best car hire deals in El Cajon with Expedia?
Check customer ratings and reviews, choose your preferred car class and compare offers from leading brands. Expedia makes it easy to pick up the best deal on your hired wheels. Combine your El Cajon car hire with flight or hotel bookings and drive off with even greater savings.
How old do you have to be to hire a car in El Cajon?
Anyone with a valid driver's license aged 21 and above can rent a vehicle in El Cajon. While some companies may be willing to rent to drivers younger than 21, this will come with additional fees. Find out what age range the young renter fee applies to, and associated costs, before reserving your ride. Outlets also restrict the types of cars young drivers can hire. Higher limits are in place for luxury and specialty vehicles.
What do you need to rent a car in El Cajon?
The main requirements are your driver's license and a credit card in your name. Most car hire companies will offer you insurance, which is optional. But you may be asked to provide proof of alternative coverage if you choose to opt out. Check with your hire provider to avoid any hassles.
What is the cheapest car hire in El Cajon?
With car hire rates starting as low as £39 and £41 a day in El Cajon within the past seven days, you'll be driving off with your own incredible deal before you know it. These rates were available on Expedia, with a rental starting date within the next year. Prices and availability are subject to change and additional terms apply.
Can I hire a car for a month or longer in El Cajon?
Click on our long-term car hire deals page, enter your preferences and then secure a ride that suits. Whether you're staying put in El Cajon or exploring beyond, Expedia will help you find a long-term rental at an excellent rate.
Where can I find an El Cajon hire car if I am younger than 25?
Age policies differ between hire suppliers, so be prepared to do a bit of research. Found an El Cajon supplier that does hire to drivers under 25? That's great! Just take note that some companies charge extra fees to drivers between the ages of 21 and 24. The terms and conditions of each rental car you're considering will have all the information you need.
Can I drive in El Cajon with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a license from the United States, you might need to organise an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your country of residence before hiring a car in the U.S. If you find that an IDP is part of the requirements to drive in the U.S, note that you'll also need to show your current valid driver's license and your passport or other forms of identification. Lastly, the credit card used to hire the car must match the name on your license and passport in order to finalize your car hire. Other things you should know about hired a car in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You need to be 25 or older in most states to be able to hire a car, although in some areas, 21 years and older is allowed. We recommend checking local regulations, and with the hire car company before you go to understand all the terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Be sure to read the fine print before you drive off so you can avoid any unnecessary fees. When hiring a car in the United States, you usually can't cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, use car ferries or go off-roading with a hire car. Please read the regulations before booking!
