What insurance should I choose for my car rental in Santa Maria?
A thorough insurance plan is a good choice for your Santa Maria adventure. That's why we recommend choosing collision protection while reserving your rental car with Expedia.

It's possible that this is 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 Italy, then you'll likely need to get an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country to be able to rent a car. You should also be aware that if you do need an IDP, it won't be valid on its own. You'll have to show your current license your passport and other forms of ID as well. Lastly, make sure the credit card used to book the rental matches the name on your driver's license and passport. A few other things to note to rent a car internationally are:

  • Age restrictions: You'll need to be at least 25 in most countries to rent a car. If you're younger, it may 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 driving away. Usually, you can't cross country borders, drive onto ferries or off road with your rental car.
