What types of cars can I rent in San Rafael?

Sleek, small and affordable, minis are the most popular car type in San Rafael. These spritely little rides are a great option for short trips around town.

Where can I go on a road trip from San Rafael?

How old do you have to be to rent a car in San Rafael?
San Rafael requires drivers to be 21 and above to be able to rent a vehicle. However, young drivers will be subject to an extra cost and some restrictions. Many outlets impose a young renter fee on top of the usual rental rate. This covers the extra risk of damage or accident. While many car classes (like compact and economy) are available to young drivers, restrictions generally apply to specialty cars.
What do you need to rent a car in San Rafael?
Any rental company you select will need these two things --- a valid driver's licence and credit card. If you'd like to opt out of the supplier's insurance plan, proof of your own coverage may also be needed. Check your policy so you know what to bring when it's time to collect your car.
What is the cheapest car rental in San Rafael?
CA $9 and CA $11 were the two lowest daily rates picked up by car rental customers in San Rafael within the past seven days. 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 rent a car for a month or longer in San Rafael?
Yes, so you won't have to rebook a rental car mid-vacation. Visit our long-term car rental deals page, enter your travel dates and find a set of wheels to call your own for the duration of your getaway.
Where can I find a San Rafael car rental if I am younger than 25?
This depends on the rental car companies that are found in San Rafael. They often have different age policies. If you've found a supplier that does cater to drivers under 25, keep in mind that additional fees may apply. Do some research into what those charges could be before picking up the keys to your vehicle.
