How old do you have to be to rent a car in San Francisco?
You need to be at least 21 to take the wheel of a rental car in San Francisco.

What do you need to rent a car in San Francisco?
Any rental company you select will require two things — a valid driver's licence and a credit card in your name. If you choose to opt out of the supplier's insurance plan, proof of other coverage may also be needed. Check your policy so you know what to bring when it's time to pick up your ride.

Like the States, you'll need to drive on the right in Mexico. However, that doesn't mean that all road rules are the same. Be sure to brush up on the traffic laws before arriving in San Francisco.

Where can I find a San Francisco car rental if I am younger than 25?
You'll need to look into the age policy of the San Francisco rental suppliers you're interested in. If you're under the age of 25, be aware that some will charge additional fees. It's good to know this before arriving at the desk so you can tailor your budget accordingly. Every rental car company has its own rules for young drivers, so do your research.
