How old do you have to be to rent a car in Santa Maria?
You have to be at least 21. But there are a few age-related restrictions to bear in mind before you lock in your Santa Maria wheels. If you're a younger driver, many rental providers will charge an additional fee and limit the kinds of cars you're able to rent. The amount of the surcharge, and which age range it applies to, differs between outlets. Be sure to compare the requirements.
What do you need to rent a car in Santa Maria?
Be prepared to present a valid driver's license and a credit card at the rental counter. Prior to the pickup date, check with your chosen rental company whether anything else is needed. For example, you may also need to provide proof of insurance.

Based on prices found over the past seven days, you could've hopped into the driver's seat of your own rental car for just $9 a day. The second lowest daily price in Santa Maria was $10.

Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Santa Maria?
Yes, and the great news is providers often offer lower prices the longer your rental term. Explore our long-term car rental deals in Santa Maria and cruise away with a real bargain.
Where can I find a Santa Maria car rental if I am younger than 25?
This depends on the rental companies located in Santa Maria. They often have different age policies. If you've found a place that does cater to drivers under 25 years of age, keep in mind that extra costs may apply. Conduct some research into what those charges could be before picking up the keys to your vehicle.
What insurance should I choose for my car rental in Santa Maria?
For a secure, stress-free vacation, add Expedia's collision protection while booking your rental car. This insurance covers your vehicle against accident damage, vandalism and theft. It also provides 24-hour emergency support in times of need. Opt in to this insurance while finalizing your Santa Maria ride with Expedia and save money and time at the rental desk.
