Always enter the correct age of the main driver when booking to find out if any restrictions apply.
What do you need to rent a car in Downtown San Jose?
Most rental companies will require two things — a current driver's licence and a credit card in your name. If you decide to opt out of the provider's insurance plan, proof of other coverage will also likely be needed. Check your policy so you know what to bring when it's time to collect your wheels.

Where can I find a Downtown San Jose car rental if I am younger than 25?
Age policies are different between rental companies, so you'll have to do a little homework. Managed to find a Downtown San Jose outlet that does rent to drivers under 25 years of age? Terrific! Just bear in mind that some companies charge additional fees to drivers between the ages of 21 and 24. The fine print of each rental car you're considering should have all the information you need.
Can I drive in Downtown San Jose with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a license from the U.S, you might need to get an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your country of residence before renting a car. If you find that an IDP is required, know that you'll also have to show your current driver's license and your passport or other forms of identification. Lastly, the credit card you used to rent the car must also match the name on your driver's license and passport in order to finalize your car rental. Some additional requirements for renting a car in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You need to be 25 or older in many states in order to rent a car, although in some places, the minimum age is 21 years. We recommend checking state and local regulations, as well as the car rental website before you go to understand all the terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Read the fine print before you leave the lot so you can avoid any unnecessary charges. When renting a car in the United States, it's usually prohibited to cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, drive onto ferries or traverse off-road areas with your rental car. Please read the details before booking!
