Can I drive in Santa Maria with my current driver's license?
If you don't possess a driver's license issued in Spain, then you'll likely need to apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your place of residence to be able to rent a car. Also consider that if an IDP is required, 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, make sure the credit card used to book the rental matches the name on your driver's license and passport. A few other things to note for international car rentals are:

  • Age restrictions: You need to be 25 or older in many countries to rent a car. If you're younger than that, 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 what kinds of cars you can rent.
  • Driving limitations: Be sure to read the rules and regulations before getting behind the wheel. You typically can't cross country borders, drive onto ferries or on off-road areas with your rental car.
