We don’t blame you for wanting to see more of
San Diego
! You should definitely rent a car in San Diego if you want to properly explore the city and beautiful beaches. Though they have a Metropolitan Transit System, it’s not as well-integrated as other major cities. Like many cities in
California
, the geography of San Diego is very spread out. To rent a car in San Diego, generally, you must be at least 25 years or older—though some rental companies allow ages 21 to 24 for an additional fee—with the following:- A valid driver’s license
- Proof of insurance
- A major credit card.
Here are some tips for renting a car in San Diego:
- Make rental arrangements prior to your trip. As you can imagine, summers in San Diego are always busy with travelers eager to hit the beach. Booking your rental car ahead of time will help you save.
- Make sure your policy covers additional drivers if you’re splitting driving duties with someone else.
- Keep change on hand. There is metered parking everywhere in San Diego—especially around all the biggest tourist destinations like the downtown area.
