What types of cars can I rent in San Diego?
Ideal for short journeys and navigating tight car spaces, minis are the most booked car type in San Diego. With excellent fuel economy, you'll save on petrol as you cruise around the city's must-see sights. These zippy rides aren't the only rental options available though. Compact, full-size, premium... You name it, chances are we've got it!
Where can I go on a road trip from San Diego?
It's no secret that San Diego is one of the most popular getaways in San José. But you'll also find countless other amazing places to explore when you lock in your ride and hit the highway. Here are some ideas to get your adventure off to a great start:

  • Home to attractions and activities galore, Liberia is around 110 miles from San Diego. First stop on the list? Head on over to Africa Mia, one of this city's highlights.
  • Quesada, around 45 miles away, also promises a good time. Wondering what there is to see? Quesada City Park is our first pick.
  • Escape city life at Flamingo Beach. Approximately 130 miles from San Diego, it's a wonderful place to spend time in nature.

How do I find the best car hire deals in San Diego with Expedia?
It's easy to track down the best deal with Expedia. Simply choose the car class, select your dates and pick-up and drop-off points, and browse offers from trusted rental suppliers. Save even more when you bundle your San Diego car hire with hotel or flight bookings.
How old do you have to be to hire a car in San Diego?
Usually, the rules are 21 years of age and over in San Diego. It should be noted that most outlets will charge extra fees for young drivers. Check before you choose your ride, as rules may differ between rental car suppliers. Bear in mind that if you're planning to hire a specialty ride or a larger car like a premium SUV, rules may require drivers to be older than 21.
What do you need to rent a car in San Diego?
Most rental companies will ask for these two things --- your driver's license and a credit card in your name. If you choose to opt out of the provider's insurance plan, proof of other coverage may also be needed. Read through your policy so you know what to bring when it's time to collect your wheels.
What is the cheapest car hire in San Diego?
The two cheapest daily rates offered in San Diego within the past seven days were £9 and £11. Now that's what we'd call an awesome deal! 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 San Diego?
Expedia makes it a breeze to pick up a cheap long-term car hire in San Diego. Just click through to our long-term car hire deals page, enter your travel dates and compare your possibilities.
Where can I find a San Diego hire car if I am younger than 25?
You'll need to investigate the age policy of the San Diego rental providers you're considering. If you're under 25 years of age, be mindful that some will charge additional costs. It's ideal to know this before collecting the vehicle so you can have the funds ready. Every car hire company has its own rules for young drivers, so it pays to do your research.
