Higher age limits usually apply for larger vehicles like premium SUVs. Additionally, most outlets will charge an additional fee for young renters. Check the rules before clicking the book button and factor any extra fees into your travel budget.
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 necessities. Opting out of the company's insurance plan? If that's the case, you may need proof of other coverage. The requirements may differ between providers, so read through your policy.

Where can I find a San Jose car rental if I am younger than 25?
Some San Jose providers will rent cars to drivers under 25  and others won't. Policies differ between suppliers, so you'll want to do some research. Also, find out if there are any extra costs. Some places will apply a surcharge to young customers between the ages of 21 and 24. Always look through the terms and conditions so you know what to expect.
Can I drive in San Jose with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a driver's license issued in the U.S, you may be required to apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country before renting a car in the U.S. If you find that an IDP is part of the requirements to drive in the U.S., know that you'll also have to show your valid driver's license and your passport or other forms of identification. Lastly, your credit card used to rent the car must match the name on your license and passport in order to finalize your car rental. Other things you should know about renting a car in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You must be at least 25 in many states to rent a car, although in some places the minimum age is 21. We recommend checking state and local regulations, as well as with the rental car company before you go to understand additional terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Don't forget to read the fine print before you leave the lot so you can avoid unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the United States, you typically can't cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, drive onto ferries or go off-roading with your rental car. Please read the regulations before booking!
