Cheap Hertz Car Rental in San Diego

A compact vehicle is easier to park and maneuver in congested city streets.

Before renting a car, check if your personal car insurance covers rental losses. Many personal auto insurance policies and credit cards offer coverage for rentals, which could save you from extra insurance fees.

Knowing local laws helps prevent fines and makes your driving experience smoother.

Many rental companies require payment by credit card and may not accept debit cards. If you only have a debit card, check the rental company's payment policies in advance and look for suitable options.

When Renting a car, especially if you’re arriving in San Diego by flight, plan for extra time at pickup to accommodate any potential delays. Suppliers like Hertz typically offer a grace period of 30-60 minutes. Providing your flight number can be helpful, but if you’re running late, be sure to call the supplier to inform them.
