Where can I find a Santa Maria car rental if I am younger than 25?
Some Santa Maria outlets will rent cars to drivers under 25 years of age, and others won't. Age policies differ from supplier to supplier, so be prepared to do your homework. Also, find out if there are additional costs. Some places will apply a surcharge to young customers between 21 and 24. Be sure to read through the terms and conditions so you know what to expect.
What insurance should I choose for my car rental in Santa Maria?
We recommend purchasing collision damage protection while reserving your Santa Maria rental car with Expedia. This covers your vehicle against accident damage, theft and vandalism throughout your vacation. Offering up to $35,000 in primary coverage and round-the-clock emergency assistance, you can take the wheel knowing you'll be covered for possible mishaps. It's easy to opt in to this insurance while reserving your rental vehicle.
Can I drive in Santa Maria with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a driver's license issued in Ecuador, then you might need to get 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 ID as well. Lastly, it's important that the credit card you used to book the rental vehicle matches the name on your license and passport. A few other things to note to rent a car internationally are:

  • Age restrictions: You'll need to be 25 or over 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: Make sure you read the fine print before you drive away. You typically can't cross country borders, drive on ferries or go off-roading with your rental car.
