Frequently asked questions

How do I find the best prices on a San Diego Enterprise car rental?

CarRentals.com always tries to get you the best price, whether you reserve your car. However, booking your car ahead of your trip can help keep spending low. Make sure to not add an additional driver and go over the mileage policy to avoid any unexpected fees.

Do I need to bring anything special when I get my vehicle in San Diego?

Make sure to present your driver's license and a credit card in your name.

What's San Diego's minimum age to rent a car?

Enterprise's minimum age to rent a car in San Diego is 21. Some rentals, especially higher category vehicles (luxury, SUVs, etc.), may have an additional fee if you are under 25. Make sure to check Enterprise's policy to determine if there is an additional cost for you.

Is there a particular vehicle I should get for my trip to San Diego?

That depends on your needs and what activities you want to do in San Diego. For bigger cities, like San Diego, you may find exploring and parking easier in a smaller car. Commute times in San Diego average 27 minutes, so you may find a mid-size vehicle or SUV provides a more comfortable ride. If you want to lower your emissions and save on gas, then choose a hybrid vehicle. Those looking for a bit of extravagance on their San Diego getaway can choose the premium category to get a car like a Mercedes C-Class or Audi A4 or similar.

Does the United States require car insurance?

In the United States you do need to have insurance before you rent. Many major credit card issuers (MasterCard, Visa, American Express and Discover) typically cover your car rental. However, many of them have limitations, such as not covering bigger vehicles, like premium models or some SUVs. It is best to find out by calling your credit card company to find out what kind of coverage is offered before you head to San Diego. Otherwise, as a U.S. citizen, you can also book Collision Damage Coverage with CarRentals.com at checkout.

Does Enterprise require a deposit at the time of booking my rental car?

Enterprise requires a deposit when you book your rental. Enterprise will block the deposit on your credit once you book your rental for your trip. Please note that the deposit may vary greatly based on the make and model of the car.

Do I have to full up the tank before I take my car back to Enterprise?

At CarRentals.com, we encourage a full to full policy. You should get into your vehicle with a full tank, and you will want to refuel up to the amount you picked the car up with. If you want to keep your expenses lower, it is best to find a gas station before you return the car to Enterprise. Stations near airports or car rental places tend to have higher prices.

Should I get unlimited miles when I drive in San Diego?

San Diego is a large city, so there is going to be a lot to do. You may not want to be concerned about your mileage limits if you are planning to see what else California has to offer.
