How old do you have to be to rent a car in San Jose?
Usually, the rules are 21 years of age and over in San Jose. It should be pointed out that most outlets will charge additional fees for young drivers. Check before you sign up, as rules may differ between rental car providers. Bear in mind that if you want to rent a specialty ride or a large car like a premium SUV, you may need to be older than 21.
What do you need to rent a car in San Jose?
A current driver's license and a credit card in the same name are two essentials. Don't want to take out the company's insurance plan? Then there's a good chance you'll also need proof of other coverage. Rules can differ from rental company to rental company, so be sure to read through your policy.
What side of the road do you drive on in San Jose?
If you don't have a lot of experience driving in a foreign country, you'll probably be happy to hear that you'll be sticking to the right in San Jose. Traffic conditions will differ though, so drive accordingly.
What is the cheapest car rental in San Jose?
The two cheapest daily prices recorded in San Jose within the past seven days were $40 and $48. Now that's what we'd call a fantastic deal! These rates were available on Expedia, with a rental starting date within the next year. Prices and availability are subject to change and additional terms apply.

You can rent a car for a month or even longer in San Jose, so don't hestitate to extend your hard-earned vacation! Just enter your trip information into our long-term car rental deals page and find your ideal ride.
Where can I find a San Jose car rental if I am younger than 25?
Some San Jose outlets will rent cars to drivers under 25, and others won't. Policies differ from supplier to supplier, so you'll want to do some research. Also, find out if there are additional costs. Some businesses will pass on a surcharge to young customers between 21 and 24. Make sure you read through the terms and conditions so you know what to expect.
What insurance should I choose for my car rental in San Jose?
It's a wise idea to have collision damage protection to safeguard your San Jose car rental against accident damage, theft and vandalism. And with Expedia, you can easily add this insurance to your vehicle at the time of booking. Providing up to $35,000 in primary coverage, it also offers 24-hour emergency help and no deductible if you need to make a claim. Change of plans? If you cancel your insurance before your scheduled pick-up time, you'll get a 100 percent refund.
Can I drive in San Jose with my current driver's license?
If you don't hold a driver's license issued in Argentina, then you'll likely need to acquire an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country to be able to rent a car. You should also note that if you do need an IDP, it won't be valid on its own. You'll be asked 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 matches the name on your driver's license and passport. A few other things to note to rent a car internationally are:

  • Age restrictions: You need to be at least 25 in most countries to rent a car. If you're younger than that, 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 what kinds of cars you can rent.
  • Driving limitations: Make sure you read the fine print before getting behind the wheel. With rental cars, you usually can't cross country borders, drive onto ferries or off road with a rental vehicle.
