Where can I find a Santa Clara car rental if I am younger than 25?
You'll need to look up the age policy of the Santa Clara rental suppliers you're interested in. If you're under 25 years old, some outlets will charge extra costs. It's good to know this before collecting the vehicle so you can have the funds ready. Each rental car company has its own rules for young drivers, so it's smart to do your research.
What insurance should I choose for my car rental in Santa Clara?
After carefuly planning your getaway, don't skimp on safety — add collision protection while booking your Santa Clara rental car with Expedia. There are plenty of benefits to this plan, including up to $35,000 in primary coverage for theft, vandalism and collision damage. Plus, with no deductible and round-the-clock emergency assistance, you can breathe a little easier in the event of a mishap.
Can I drive in Santa Clara with my current driver's license?
If you don't hold a driver's license issued in Panama, then you'll likely need to get an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country to be allowed to rent a car. You should also be aware 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 documentation as well. Lastly, it's important that the credit card used to book the rental matches the name on your driver's license and passport. Some additional requirements 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 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: Be sure to read the fine print before you drive away. You typically can't cross country borders, drive onto ferries or on off-road areas with a rental vehicle.
