Where can I find a Santa Bárbara car rental if I am younger than 25?
You'll need to look into the age policy of the Santa Bárbara rental suppliers you're interested in. If you're under 25 years old, some companies will charge additional costs. It's best to know this before collecting the vehicle so you can tailor your budget accordingly. Every rental car company has its own policies for younger drivers, so it pays to do your research.
What insurance should I choose for my car rental in Santa Bárbara?
Make a safe start to your road trip by choosing Expedia's collision damage protection. While there are many types of car rental insurance, this is one you'll need to have. It provides primary coverage for vandalism, accident damage and theft up to $35,000, as well as round-the-clock emergency support. Don't wait until you arrive at the rental counter to insure your car. Opt in to collision protection while reserving your Santa Bárbara ride with Expedia and save time and money.
Can I drive in Santa Bárbara with my current driver's license?
If you don't possess a driver's license issued in Portugal, then you may need to acquire an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your place of residence to be allowed to rent a car. Please also consider that if you do need an IDP, it won't be valid on its own. You'll need to show your current driver's license your passport and other forms of identification as well. Lastly, make sure the credit card used to book the rental vehicle matches the name on your driver's license and passport. Some added requirements to rent a car internationally are:

  • Age restrictions: You need to be at least 25 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 the types of vehicles you can rent.
  • Driving limitations: Make sure you read the rules and regulations before getting behind the wheel. Usually, you can't cross country borders, drive onto ferries or go off-roading with a rental vehicle.
