Question 3

Where can I go on a road trip from Santa Clara?

Accepted Answer

Santa Clara is full of adventures, but don't restrict yourself to one place. Grab a set of wheels and take to the road to see what else awaits in the wider region. Here are some places to consider:

Make tracks to Santa Cruz for an excellent sightseeing experience. Around 45 miles from Santa Clara, it's home to many great sights like Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk.
Approximately 40 miles away, Fairfield is also a favorite with travelers. Make sure you experience Jelly Belly Factory while you're here. It's one of the reasons people love staying a while in this city.
Head to Glacier Point to discover some local nature. Take a picnic to enjoy or just relax and unwind. From Santa Clara, it's around 140 miles away.

Accepted Answer

Expedia makes it quick and easy to compare prices, offers and rental providers, and to check customer reviews. Bundle your Santa Clara car rental with flight or hotel bookings to save even more.

Question 5

How old do you have to be to rent a car in Santa Clara?

Accepted Answer

Drivers need to be at least 21. But there are some age-related requirements to be aware of before you book your wheels in Santa Clara. If you're a young driver, most rental providers will charge an additional daily fee and limit the types of cars you can rent. The surcharge, and which age range it applies to, varies between providers. It's a good idea to compare the rules.

Question 6

What do you need to rent a car in Santa Clara?

Accepted Answer

Any rental company you choose will require two things — a current driver's license and a credit card in your name. If you want to opt out of the provider's insurance plan, proof of your own coverage will also likely be needed. Read your policy thoroughly so you know what to bring when it's time to collect your wheels.

Question 9

Where can I find a Santa Clara car rental if I am younger than 25?
