What do you need to rent a car in Santa Bárbara?

Yes, so there's no need to rebook a rental vehicle mid-vacation. Click on our long-term car rental deals page, enter your information and find a set of wheels to call your own for however long you want.
Where can I find a Santa Bárbara car rental if I am younger than 25?
This depends on the rental companies that are found in Santa Bárbara. They often have different policies when it comes to minimum ages. If you've found an outlet that does cater to drivers under 25, keep in mind that additional fees 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 Bárbara?
You should have collision protection to cover your Santa Bárbara rental car against theft, accident damage and vandalism. And with Expedia, you can easily purchase this insurance for your vehicle at the time of booking. Covering primary physical damage of up to $35,000, it also offers 24-hour emergency assistance and a zero-dollar deductible should you need to make a claim. Plans changed? If you cancel your policy before your scheduled collection time, you'll receive a full refund.
Can I drive in Santa Bárbara with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a driver's license issued in Guatemala, then it's likely you'll need to acquire an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country to be allowed to rent a car. You should also be aware 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 ID as well. Lastly, make sure the credit card used to book the rental matches the name on your license and passport. Some other requirements for international car rentals are:

  • Age restrictions: You'll need to be at least 25 in most places 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: Be sure to read the rules and regulations before you drive off the lot. Typically, you can't cross country borders, drive on ferries or off road with your rental car.
