Anyone with a valid driver’s license 21 and over can rent a car in San Rafael. While some companies may be willing to rent to drivers younger than 21, a fee will be added.

Higher age limits apply for luxury and specialty vehicles.
What do you need to rent a car in San Rafael?
Any rental company you choose will ask for these two things — a current driver’s license and a credit card in your name. If you decide to opt out of the provider’s insurance plan, proof of your own coverage will also likely be needed. Check your policy so you know what to bring when it’s time to pick up the keys.

Where can I find a San Rafael car rental if I am younger than 25?
Whether or not you can rent a vehicle if you are under 25 in San Rafael often depends on the rental supplier you select. Some businesses apply a surcharge for young drivers between 21 and 24 years of age, yet other companies may not apply any extra costs for this age range. Make sure you understand the terms and conditions of your chosen rental dealer to avoid extra charges when picking up your keys.
What insurance should I choose for my car rental in San Rafael?
You should have collision damage protection to safeguard your San Rafael car rental against theft, vandalism and accident damage. And with Expedia, it’s easy to purchase this insurance for your vehicle during the booking process. Providing up to $35,000 in primary coverage, it also offers 24-hour emergency help and no deductible should you need to make a claim. Plans changed? If you cancel your insurance before your scheduled pick-up time, you’ll receive a complete refund.
