What do you need to rent a car in San Diego?
Before you can hit the road in San Diego, you'll need a valid driver's license and a credit card that matches the name on your license.

Requirements may vary, so read the contract terms and conditions before you select a rental company.
Can I drive in San Diego with my U.S. Driver's license?

Some San Diego outlets will rent to drivers under 25, and others won't. Policies differ from supplier to supplier, so you should do some research. Also, find out if there are any additional costs. Some places will apply a surcharge to customers between the ages of 21 and 24. Make sure you read through the terms and conditions so you know what to expect.
