What do you need to rent a car in Santa Clara?
Before you can hit the road in Santa Clara, you’ll need a driver’s license and a credit card. If you don’t take out the company’s insurance policy, you may also have to show proof of other coverage. Rules can vary, so understand the policy terms and conditions before you choose a home company.

Where can I find a Santa Clara car rental if I am younger than 25?
If you’re a young driver hoping to book a holiday home in Santa Clara, we recommend checking the policies of the holiday home companies you’re interested in. Some may rent to drivers under 25 some may not. Surcharges may apply if you’re between 21 and 24 years old. To escape any nasty surprises at the holiday home counter, make sure you know exactly what to expect.
Can I drive in Santa Clara with my current driver's license?
If you don’t have a license from the U.S, you might need to apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your country of residence before renting a car. If you find that an IDP is required for you to drive in the U.S., know that you’ll also have to show your current driver’s license and your passport or other forms of ID. Lastly, the credit card used to rent the vehicle must also match the name on your driver’s 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 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 with the company you’re renting from before you go to understand additional terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Read the fine print before you drive off so you can avoid unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the United States, you typically can’t cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, use car ferries or traverse rough terrain with a rental car. Please read all the rules and regulations before booking!
