$11 Car Rental Santa María

There's loads to do in Santa María, but head farther afield and you'll find more sightseeing magic. Arrange a set of wheels and you can roam around the surrounding region at your own speed. Add these awesome destinations to your to-do list:

• Mexico City is roughly 40 miles from Santa María. Top-rated sights like Zócalo deserve to be high on your list while you're in town.
• Why not enjoy the best of Puebla too? Top tourist attractions here include Africam Safari. Puebla is approximately 85 miles from Santa María.
• Pena de Bernal is approximately 130 miles from Santa Marían and is one of the region's most breathtaking nature spots. Go for a wander around and enjoy the fresh air.

If you don't hold a driver's license issued in Mexico, then you'll likely need to acquire an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your place of residence in order to rent a car. It's also important to note that if an IDP is required, it won't be valid on its own. You'll be asked to show your current driver's license your passport and other forms of identification as well. Lastly, make sure the credit card you used to book the rental matches the name on your driver's license and passport. A few other things to note to rent a car internationally are:

• Age restrictions: You'll need to be at least 25 in many countries to rent a car. If you're younger, it might still be possible to rent a car but you'll have to pay a Young Driver's Surcharge. Additional restrictions may also apply to the types of cars you can rent.
• Driving limitations: Be sure to read the fine print before sliding behind the wheel. With rental cars, you usually can't cross country borders, drive on ferries or on certain types of rugged terrain with a rental vehicle.
