Where can I find a Santa María car rental if I am younger than 25?

What insurance should I choose for my car rental in Santa María?

If you cancel your insurance before your scheduled pick-up time, you'll get all your money back.
Can I drive in Santa María with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a driver's license issued in Nicaragua, then you might need to apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country to be allowed to rent a car. Also consider that if you do need an IDP, it won't be valid on its own. You'll need to show your current license your passport and other forms of identification 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 other things to note for international car rentals are:

  • Age restrictions: You must be at least 25 in most 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: Be sure to read the fine print before you drive away. Usually, you can't cross country borders, drive onto ferries or on certain types of rugged terrain with your rental car.
