Higher age limits apply for specialty and luxury vehicles.

You'll need to present a valid driver's license and a credit card when you get to the rental counter. Before pickup, check with your rental supplier whether other documentation is needed. For example, you may also need to show proof of auto insurance.

Where can I find a Santa Clara car rental if I am younger than 25?
Some Santa Clara outlets will rent to drivers under 25 years of age, and others won't. Age policies differ between suppliers, so you'll have to do your homework. Also, find out if there are any extra costs. Some businesses will apply a surcharge to customers between 21 and 24. Be sure to read through the terms and conditions so you know what to expect.
What insurance should I choose for my car rental in Santa Clara?
A thorough insurance policy is a fantastic idea for your upcoming Santa Clara vacation. That's why we recommend adding 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. This might be included in your rental price or your own auto insurance, so check what you're covered for and whether you need it.
Can I drive in Santa Clara with my current driver's license?
If you don't hold a driver's license issued in Portugal, then it's likely you'll need to apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country to be allowed to rent a car. You should also be aware that if an IDP is required, it has no validity on its own. You'll need to show your current driver's license your passport and other forms of ID as well. Lastly, make sure the credit card you used to book the rental matches the name on your license and passport. Some other requirements for international car rentals 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: Make sure you read the rules and regulations before sliding behind the wheel. Usually, you can't cross country borders, drive on ferries or off road with a rental car.
