Pick up an amazing deal with Expedia. Just choose your favorite ride, select your dates and preferred pickup and drop-off points, and browse offers from all the trusted rental suppliers. Make even bigger savings when you bundle your Santa Maria car rental with flight or hotel bookings.
How old do you have to be to rent a car in Santa Maria?
Rental car rules in Santa Maria require drivers to be 21 and above. Are you a young driver? Some restrictions and surcharges may apply. Many rental suppliers impose what is known as a young driver surcharge, which is an extra fee to the rental car cost. Restrictions often apply to the sorts of cars young motorists can rent as well. Age limits may vary between outlets, so check before you book.
What do you need to rent a car in Santa Maria?
While requirements may differ between rental car outlets, the basics are a valid driver's license and a credit card in your name. You don't need to take out insurance with your rental company. However, proof of your own coverage may be necessary.
What side of the road do you drive on in Santa Maria?
If you don't have a lot of experience driving in a foreign country, you'll probably be happy to hear that you'll be sticking to the right side of the road in Santa Maria. Conditions and rules will be different though, so drive accordingly.
What is the cheapest car rental in Santa Maria?
We looked into prices over the last seven days and found that daily rates were as low as $41. The second lowest price to rent a ride in Santa Maria was $44 a day.

Where can I find a Santa Maria car rental if I am younger than 25?
Whether you can rent a vehicle if you are under 25 years old in Santa Maria often depends on the rental company you choose. Some places have a surcharge for young customers between 21 and 24 years of age, but others may not apply any additional costs for this age group. It'd be wise to understand the terms and conditions of your prospective rental dealer to avoid extra costs when picking up your keys.
What insurance should I choose for my car rental in Santa Maria?
A thorough insurance plan is a smart idea for your upcoming Santa Maria trip. That's why we suggest adding collision protection while reserving your rental car with Expedia. This covers your vehicle from theft, vandalism and accident damage. Some destinations may require 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.
Can I drive in Santa Maria with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a driver's license issued in Brazil, then it's likely you'll need to get an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your place of residence to be allowed to rent a car. It's also important to note that if you do need an IDP, it has no validity on its own. You'll be asked to show your current license your passport and other forms of documentation as well. Lastly, make sure the credit card you used to book the rental vehicle matches the name on your license and passport. Some additional requirements to rent a car internationally are:

  • Age restrictions: You must be at least 25 in most 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 vehicles you can rent.
  • Driving limitations: Make sure you read the fine print 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 a rental car.
