How old do you have to be to rent a car in Santa Elena?
Drivers 21 and above can get on the road in Santa Elena in a rental vehicle. If you're a young motorist, a daily surcharge applies.

What do you need to rent a car in Santa Elena?
You'll need to present a valid driver's license and a credit card in your name when you get to the rental counter. Prior to pickup, check with your chosen rental company whether anything else is needed. For example, you may also need to show proof of insurance.
What side of the road do you drive on in Santa Elena?
Cars drive on the right and pass on the left in Mexico — the same side as in the U.S. Navigating around Santa Elena won't be exactly like home, though. You'll want to brush up on the local traffic rules.
What is the cheapest car rental in Santa Elena?

These rates were available on Expedia, with a rental starting date within the next year. Prices and availability are subject to change and additional terms apply.

Where can I find a Santa Elena car rental if I am younger than 25?
This depends on the car rental companies operating in Santa Elena. They often have different age policies. If you've found a place that does cater to drivers under 25, take note that extra costs may apply. Do some research into any extra charges before collecting the vehicle.
What insurance should I choose for my car rental in Santa Elena?
For a secure, stress-free vacation, add Expedia's collision protection while reserving your rental car. This insurance covers your ride against accident damage, vandalism and theft. It also offers customers 24-hour emergency help in times of need. Opt in to this insurance while finalizing your Santa Elena vehicle with Expedia and save time and money at the rental desk.
