Frequently asked questions

Can I rent a car from San Diego Intl. Airport (SAN)?
You certainly can. Once your plane hits the tarmac at San Diego Intl. Airport (SAN), you'll locate the rental outlets at the Rental Car Center. Arrange a ride with Nu Car Rental, Sixt or Payless. Enterprise and Airport Van Rental are also worth considering.
What happens if I need to cancel my Carlsbad car reservation?
There are always times when plans are turned on their head. That's why we offer a full refund on many prepaid reservations if you cancel six hours in advance of picking up the car. Be sure to double-check your rental policy — in some cases it's not available. Can't find the details there? Our Customer Service Portal has more useful information.

What do you need to rent a car in Carlsbad?
Any rental company you choose will need these two things — a current driver's license and credit card. If you decide to opt out of the provider's insurance plan, proof of other coverage may also be needed. Read through your policy so you know what to bring with you to the rental counter.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Carlsbad?
You can rent a vehicle for a month or longer in Carlsbad, so go on and extend your hard-earned vacation! Just enter your trip information into our long-term car rental deals page and reserve your ideal ride.
Where can I find a Carlsbad car rental if I am younger than 25?
Whether or not you can rent a car under the age of 25 in Carlsbad often depends on the rental provider you select. Some outlets apply a surcharge for young drivers between 21 and 24 years of age, whereas other companies may not apply any additional costs for this age group. It'd be wise to go through the terms and conditions of your selected car rental dealer to escape extra charges at the rental desk.
