10 tips to save on your car hire in and around San Anselmo

  1. Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by selecting vehicle types and specific features. Whether you require an SUV for added space, a convertible for the summer sunshine, or an economy car for cost-effectiveness, utilise the filters on Expedia to discover the ideal match for your journey.
  2. Book in advance to help lower costs: Rental prices can vary based on demand, so it’s advisable to secure your car well in advance of your trip. By booking early, you are more likely to obtain lower rates and enjoy greater availability, particularly during peak seasons.
  3. Consider a smaller car for savings: Smaller vehicles are typically more affordable to rent and easier to manoeuvre in congested areas. Mid-size rentals strike an excellent balance between price, comfort, and fuel efficiency.
  4. Age guidelines: Drivers under the age of 30 might encounter higher deposits or daily surcharges, and certain types of vehicles—such as SUVs or premium models—may not be available. This can also apply to renters over the age of 70. Always verify the age requirements prior to booking.
  5. Check fuel policies: Some rentals operate under a full-to-full fuel policy, meaning you must return the vehicle with a full tank to avoid additional charges. This is generally the most advisable option. Others may provide full-to-empty or prepaid fuel options, which are also acceptable. Just ensure that you return the car empty in those cases.
  6. Save on city and airport pickups: Collecting your rental car from airports often incurs a surcharge, but the added convenience may justify the extra cost.
  7. Know your payment options: Many car hire companies only accept credit cards as a form of payment.
  8. Understand your insurance coverage: Car hire insurance can protect you from unexpected expenses and provide additional peace of mind should anything unforeseen occur during your trip. It’s straightforward to add car hire insurance when making your booking with Expedia.
  9. Consider unlimited mileage: If you plan on taking long road trips, search for rentals that offer unlimited mileage to avoid incurring extra charges.
  10. Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver's licence is necessary for renting a vehicle.

Where can I find a San Anselmo hire car if I am younger than 25?
Age policies are different between hire companies, so you'll have to do a bit of homework. Found a San Anselmo outlet that does hire to drivers under the age of 25? Terrific!

Can I drive in San Anselmo with my current driver's license?
If you don't possess a driver's license from the United States, then you might need to apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your country of residence before hiring a car. If you find that an IDP is part of the requirements to drive in the U.S, know that you'll also have to show your valid driver's license and your passport or other forms of identification. Lastly, the credit card used to hire the car must also match the name on your driver's license and passport in order to finalize your car hire. Some additional requirements for hiring a car in the U.S. Are:
  • Age restrictions: You'll need to be 25 in many states to hire a car, although in some areas, 21 years and older is allowed. We recommend checking state and local regulations, as well as the car hire website before your trip to understand all the terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Read the fine print before you get behind the wheel so you can avoid unnecessary fees. When hiring a car in the U.S, it's usually prohibited to cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, drive on ferries or traverse rough terrain with your hired car. We recommend reading all the rules and regulations before booking!
