What do you need to rent a car in Santa Maria?
Two things — your driver's license and a credit card in the same name. Many car rental companies will offer you insurance, which is optional. But you may have to provide proof of alternative coverage if you prefer to opt out. We recommend checking with your supplier to avoid any problems.

There may be extra costs if you're aged between 21 and 24. To escape any nasty surprises at the rental counter, make sure you know what those charges are if they apply to you.
What insurance should I choose for my car rental in Santa Maria?
You'll want to add collision damage protection while reserving your Santa Maria rental car with Expedia. This protects your vehicle against accident damage, theft and vandalism throughout your vacation. Offering up to $35,000 in primary coverage and round-the-clock emergency support, you can get behind the wheel knowing you'll be covered for possible mishaps. Simply opt in to this insurance during the checkout process.
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 may need to apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country to be able to rent a car. You should also be aware that if an IDP is required, it won't be valid on its own. You'll be asked to show your driver's license from your home country your passport and other forms of ID as well. Lastly, make sure the credit card you used to book the rental vehicle matches the name on your driver's license and passport. Some other things to note for international car rentals are:

  • Age restrictions: You must be at least 25 in many 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 what kinds of cars you can rent.
  • Driving limitations: Make sure you read the rules and regulations before driving away. You typically can't cross country borders, drive on ferries or on certain types of rugged terrain with a rental vehicle.
