What types of cars can I rent in Santa Clara?

Why should I rent a Santa Clara car with Expedia?

How do I find the best car rental deals in Santa Clara with Expedia?

All you have to do is choose the car class, select your dates and preferred pickup and drop-off points, and compare offers from top rental suppliers.

How old do you have to be to rent a car in Santa Clara?
Santa Clara requires drivers to be at least 21 to be able to rent a vehicle. However, young drivers can expect an extra cost and some restrictions. Most suppliers impose a daily young renter fee on top of the standard rental rate. This covers the higher risk of accident or damage. While many car classes (like economy and compact) are available to young motorists, restrictions generally apply to luxury cars.
What do you need to rent a car in Santa Clara?
Be prepared to present your driver's licence and a credit card in your name when you get to the rental counter. Prior to pickup, check with your selected company whether anything else is needed. For example, you may also need to show proof of auto insurance.
What is the cheapest car rental in Santa Clara?
With car rental rates starting from just AU$73 and AU$81 a day in Santa Clara within the past seven days, you'll be driving away with your own incredible deal before long. 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.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Santa Clara?
Expedia makes it a cinch to find a long-term rental in Santa Clara. Simply visit our long-term car rental deals page, enter your trip preferences and browse the possibilities.
Where can I find a Santa Clara car rental if I am younger than 25?
Age policies differ between rental suppliers, so you'll have to do a little homework. Managed to find a Santa Clara supplier that does rent to drivers under the age of 25? Great! Just bear in mind that extra charges often apply to drivers between the ages of 21 and 24. The fine print of each rental car you're looking at should have all the details you need.
Can I drive in Santa Clara with my current driver's license?
If you don't possess a driver's license issued in the U.S, then 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, note that you'll also need to show your current driver's license and your passport or other forms of identification. Lastly, the credit card you used to rent the vehicle 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 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 local rules and regulations, as well as with the rental car company before you book to understand all the regulations that may apply to you.
  • Driving limitations: Don't forget to read the fine print before you slide behind the wheel so you can avoid any unnecessary charges. When renting a car in the United States, you typically can't cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, drive onto ferries or traverse off-road areas with your home. Please read the regulations before you book!
