Frequently asked questions

How much is a rental car per day in San Jose?
Motoring around San Jose doesn't have to break the bank, with daily car rental prices starting at within the past seven days.
Can I rent a car from Almeria Airport (LEI)?
Arrive at Almeria Airport (LEI) and then head for Avis or Hertz, a short commute away. You'll be discovering the sights and sounds of San Jose in your own set of wheels in no time.
What happens if I need to cancel my San Jose car reservation?
No need to stress. You should receive a total refund if you cancel more than six hours ahead of the arranged pickup time. Your itinerary contains information about this, as does our Customer Service Portal. Not all prepaid bookings qualify for a refund though, so it's a good idea to read through the cancellation policy.
Where can I go on a road trip from San Jose?
San Jose is full of adventures, but don't restrict yourself to just the one place. Pick up a set of wheels and hit the road to see what else awaits in the wider area. These are some great options:

  • Head to Granada for a fantastic sightseeing adventure. Around 85 miles from San Jose, it has many amazing attractions like Alhambra.
  • Your next pit stop? Consider Orihuela, which is around 110 miles away. La Zenia Beach is one local hot spot you really shouldn't miss.
  • Make tracks to Palmeral of Elche to rediscover nature. Pack a picnic to enjoy or just relax in the fresh air. From San Jose, it's about 130 miles away.

How old do you have to be to rent a car in San Jose?
Drivers with a valid license aged 21 and over can rent a car in San Jose. While some outlets may be willing to accommodate drivers younger than 21, a fee will be added. Find out what age range the young driver surcharge applies to, and the cost, before you book. Providers also restrict the types of cars available to young drivers. Higher limits are in place for large vehicles like premium SUVs and luxury models.
What do you need to rent a car in San Jose?
Before you can road trip around San Jose, you'll need a driver's license and a credit card. If you decline to take out the company's insurance plan, you may also have to show proof of your own coverage. Requirements can vary, so understand the policy terms and conditions before you choose a rental provider.
What side of the road do you drive on in San Jose?
Vehicles drive on the right and pass on the left in Spain — the same side as in the States. Navigating around San Jose won't be exactly the same as home, though. You'll want to brush up on the local traffic rules.
What is the cheapest car rental in San Jose?
With prices starting from as low as and per day in San Jose within the past seven days, you'll be driving off with your own incredible deal before long. 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 San Jose?
Yes, and the good news is companies often offer lower rates the longer your rental term. Check out our long-term car rental deals in San Jose and cruise off with a serious bargain.
Where can I find a San Jose car rental if I am younger than 25?
You'll need to investigate the age policy of the San Jose rental suppliers you're interested in. If you're under the age of 25, be mindful that some will charge additional fees. It's useful to know about this ahead of time so you can have the funds ready. Every rental car company has its own policies for younger drivers, so it's smart to do your research.
What insurance should I choose for my car rental in San Jose?
A thorough insurance policy is a good choice for your upcoming San Jose adventure. That's why we suggest purchasing collision protection while reserving your car rental with Expedia. This insures your vehicle against theft, accident damage and vandalism. Some destinations may need you to have a minimum level of liability insurance. It's possible that this is included in your rental cost or your own auto insurance, so check what you're covered for.
Can I drive in San Jose with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a driver's license issued in Spain, then you'll likely need to apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country in order to rent a car. You should also note that if you do need an IDP, it has no validity on its own. You'll need to show your current license 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 other things to note to rent a car internationally are:

  • Age restrictions: You'll need to be 25 or over in most places 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 vehicles you can rent.
  • Driving limitations: Make sure you read the fine print before getting behind the wheel. Usually, you can't cross country borders, drive on ferries or on certain types of rugged terrain with a rental vehicle.
