Can I drive in San Mateo with my U.S. Driver's license?
You can, but if you really want to play it safe, organize an International Driving Permit to accompany your license. The permit contains your name, photo and driver’s details and is an useful additional identity document.

Where can I find a San Mateo car rental if I am younger than 25?
The ability to rent a car if you are under 25 years old in San Mateo often depends on the rental supplier you select. Some outlets have a surcharge for young customers aged between 21 and 24 years, whereas other companies may not have any additional costs for this age bracket. Make sure you read the terms and conditions of your prospective rental company to escape unnecessary costs when collecting your car.
