How old do you have to be to rent a car in Santa Maria?
Santa Maria requires drivers to be 21 and above to be able to rent a car. However, young drivers can expect an extra charge and stricter rental conditions. Many companies impose a young renter fee on top of the car rental rate. This helps cover the extra risk of accident or damage. While many car categories (like mid-size and compact) are available to young motorists, restrictions usually apply to premium and specialty vehicles.
What do you need to rent a car in Santa Maria?
The main requirements are your driver's license and a credit card in your 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. Be sure to check your policy requirements to avoid any issues.
What side of the road do you drive on in Santa Maria?
Travelers from the States will feel quite comfortable zipping around Santa Maria — motorists here stick to the right.

The two lowest daily prices on offer in Santa Maria within the past seven days were $78 and $90. Now that's what we'd call a bargain! 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?
Yes, so you won't need to rebook a rental car mid-vacation. Click through to our long-term car rental deals page, enter your trip information and lock in a set of wheels to call your own for the duration of your getaway.
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 of age, and others won't. Age policies differ from supplier to supplier, so you should do your homework. Also, find out if there are additional costs. Some businesses will apply 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?
After carefuly planning your vacation, don't skimp on your insurance — choose collision protection while booking your Santa Maria rental vehicle with Expedia. There are numerous benefits to this plan, including up to $35,000 in primary coverage for accident damage, theft and vandalism. Plus, with no deductible and round-the-clock emergency help, you can breathe a little easier should you find yourself in a pickle.
Can I drive in Santa Maria with my current driver's license?
If you don't hold a driver's license issued in Greece, then you may need to apply for 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 an IDP is required, it has no validity on its own. You'll have 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 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 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 the types of cars you can rent.
  • Driving limitations: Be sure to read the rules and regulations before you drive off the lot. With rental cars, you usually can't cross country borders, drive on ferries or off road with your rental car.
