anybody knows how to rent a car in US drive until cabo san luca and back, returning car in US ?
Is it permitted ?
I suppose I have to pay some special additional insurance fee. Where at car rental shop or at border ?

Just ask agencies and see if they allow it. In San Diego area there is California-Baja Rent-a-car. I think Avis also does...
Avis does

and right from the San Diego airport. They were only able to rent for Baja Norte but I believe that has changed and now covers all of Baja.

I just rented a car with AVIS and didn't have any problems. You do have to buy the Mexican insurance, which was $25 dollars a day, but the mileage is
unlimited. I looked at Baja Rent-A-Car, but you're only allowed 100 miles per rental day and it was more expensive because they include insurance in
the price. They also don't have an airport location.
You can take an AVIS car anywhere in Baja, but only about 25 miles in if you go to the mainland. We ended up with a Pontiac Vibe, which worked out
really well off the highway because it sits up higher. It's kind of like a cross between a car and a small SUV.
One last word of advice. Book online, but keep checking back on the price. I made, and cancelled several reservations because the price kept
dropping as my trip got closer.
