How old do you have to be to rent a car in San Francisco?
If you’re 21 and above, you can rent a car in San Francisco. Be mindful that rental companies will charge young drivers an extra fee, which helps cover the higher damage risk involved.

What do you need to rent a car in San Francisco?
Before you can hop behind the wheel in San Francisco, you’ll need a valid driver’s license and a credit card. If you choose not to take out the rental company’s insurance plan, you may also have to show proof of alternative coverage. Requirements may vary, so read the contract terms and conditions before you choose a rental provider.
