What insurance should I choose for my car rental in San Jose?
A comprehensive insurance policy is a smart idea for your upcoming San Jose vacation. That's why we recommend choosing collision protection while reserving your rental car with Expedia. This covers your vehicle from theft, vandalism and collision damage. Some destinations may need you to have a minimum level of liability insurance. It's possible that this is included in your rental cost or your own auto insurance, so check what you're covered for and if you need it.
Can I drive in San Jose with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a driver's license issued in Philippines, then you'll likely need to get an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country in order to rent a car. You should also note that if an IDP is required, it has no validity on its own. You'll have to show your current driver's license your passport and other forms of documentation as well. Lastly, make sure the credit card used to book the rental matches the name on your license and passport. Some added requirements to rent a car internationally are:

  • Age restrictions: You need to be 25 or over in most places 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 what kinds of cars you can rent.
  • Driving limitations: Be sure to read the rules and regulations before getting behind the wheel. With rental cars, you usually can't cross country borders, drive on ferries or on certain types of rugged terrain with your rental car.
