How much is a rental car per day in Santa Maria?
Get bang for your buck in Santa Maria, with car rental prices within the past seven days starting from as low as $20 a day.
What happens if I need to cancel my Santa Maria car reservation?
We appreciate that flexibility is important. That's why the majority of prepaid bookings provide a complete refund if you notify us a minimum of six hours before collecting the car. It's a good idea to read over the cancellation policy though because there are some exceptions. If you can't find the answer there, click on our Customer Service Portal.
Where can I go on a road trip from Santa Maria?
Santa Maria has plenty to keep you busy, but don't restrict yourself to just the one place. Organize a set of wheels and hit the open road to explore the surrounding region. These are some great options:

  • You'll find Piazza Maggiore and loads of other interesting attractions in Bologna. From Santa Maria, it's roughly 85 miles away.
  • Next stop? Make it Rome, which is around 100 miles away. St. Peter's Basilica is one local hot spot you really shouldn't miss.
  • Visit Maddalena Archipelago National Park for a day out in nature. Take a picnic to enjoy or just chill out in the fresh air. From Santa Maria, it's 180 miles away.

How do I find the best car rental deals in Santa Maria with Expedia?
Getting the best deal on your Santa Maria rental car is a piece of cake with Expedia. Choose your preferred car class, add in a few more details and compare prices from popular brands. Why not add flights and hotels to your booking? You'll unlock even more savings when you combine your bookings into a package.
How old do you have to be to rent a car in Santa Maria?
You need to be at least 18 to get behind the wheel of a rental car in Santa Maria. Be aware that young drivers may only be able to rent from a few car categories, such as compact, economy and medium size. Higher age limits usually apply for luxury and specialty vehicles. Additionally, most outlets will charge an additional fee for young renters. Read through the rules before booking and factor any surcharge into your travel budget.
What do you need to rent a car in Santa Maria?
Generally, all you'll need is a current driver's license and credit card in your name when collecting the vehicle. You may also need proof of coverage if you decide to opt out of the company's insurance plan. These requirements often differ between providers, so it's wise to check before booking.
What side of the road do you drive on in Santa Maria?
Cars drive on the right and pass on the left in Italy — the same side as in the U.S. Road-tripping around Santa Maria won't be exactly like home, though. We recommend brushing up on the local road rules.
What is the cheapest car rental in Santa Maria?
Santa Maria has had some very happy rental car customers lately. The lowest daily rates recorded within the past seven days were $20 and $23. 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.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Santa Maria?
Expedia makes it a cinch to score a reliable long-term car rental in Santa Maria. Simply visit our long-term car rental deals page, enter your information and compare your options.
Where can I find a Santa Maria car rental if I am younger than 25?
Some Santa Maria outlets will rent to drivers under 25 years old, and others won't. Policies differ between suppliers, so you'll need to do your homework. Also, find out if there are additional costs. Some places will pass on a surcharge to customers between 21 and 24. Always read through the terms and conditions to avoid any nasty surprises.
What insurance should I choose for my car rental in Santa Maria?
A comprehensive insurance policy is a good choice for your upcoming Santa Maria adventure. That's why we recommend adding collision protection while reserving your rental car with Expedia. This covers your vehicle from theft, accident damage and vandalism. Some destinations may require you to have a minimum level of liability insurance. This may already be included in your rental cost 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 possess a driver's license issued in Italy, then you might need to acquire an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country in order to rent a car. It's also important to note that if an IDP is required, it won't be valid on its own. You'll have to show your driver's license from your home country your passport and other forms of documentation as well. Lastly, it's important that the credit card used to book the rental vehicle matches the name on your driver's license and passport. Some additional requirements for international car rentals are:

  • Age restrictions: You must be at least 25 in many countries to rent a car. If you're younger than that, 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 the types of vehicles available to rent.
  • Driving limitations: Make sure you read the rules and regulations before you drive off the lot. You typically can't cross country borders, drive on ferries or on off-road areas with a rental car.
