Remember to check the fine print before choosing your wheels.
What do you need to rent a car in Santa Clara?
In most cases, all you'll need is a driver's license and a credit card in the same name when picking up the vehicle. Proof of coverage may also be required if you'd prefer to opt out of the company's insurance plan. Rules often differ between rental companies, so it's a good idea to check while booking.

Where can I find a Santa Clara car rental if I am younger than 25?
Renting a vehicle if you're under 25 years in Santa Clara often depends on the rental company you choose. Some businesses have a surcharge for customers aged between 21 and 24 years, whereas others may not apply any additional costs for this age range. It'd be smart to understand the terms and conditions of your preferred car rental dealer to escape excessive charges at the rental desk.
What insurance should I choose for my car rental in Santa Clara?
A comprehensive insurance plan is a smart choice for your upcoming Santa Clara getaway. That's why we suggest adding collision protection while reserving your rental car with Expedia. This insures your vehicle against theft, vandalism and accident damage. Some destinations may require a minimum level of liability insurance. This might be included in your rental cost or your personal auto insurance, so check what you're covered for and whether you need it.
Can I drive in Santa Clara with my current driver's license?
If you don't possess a driver's license issued in Portugal, then you might need to get an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country to be able 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 driver's license your passport and other forms of ID as well. Lastly, make sure the credit card you used to book the rental matches the name on your license and passport. Some other things to note to rent a car internationally are:

  • Age restrictions: You'll 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: Be sure to read the rules and regulations before driving away. Typically, you can't cross country borders, drive onto ferries or on off-road areas with your rental car.
