What insurance should I choose for my car rental in Santa Maria?
A comprehensive insurance plan is a smart choice for your Santa Maria vacation. That's why we suggest choosing collision protection while reserving your rental car with Expedia. This insures your vehicle against theft, vandalism and collision damage. Some destinations may need you to have a minimum level of liability insurance. It's possible that this is included in your rental price or your own auto insurance, so check what you're covered for and if you need it.
Can I drive in Santa Maria with my current driver's license?
If you don't possess a driver's license issued in Italy, then you might need to get an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your place of residence to be allowed to rent a car. Also consider that if you do need an IDP, it has no validity on its own. You'll need to show your current driver's license your passport and other forms of documentation as well. Lastly, it's important that the credit card used to book the rental vehicle 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 available to rent.
  • Driving limitations: Be sure to read the fine print before you drive off the lot. You typically can't cross country borders, drive on ferries or go off-roading with a rental car.
