How old do you have to be to rent a car in Santa Fe?
Santa Fe rules state drivers must be at least 21 before they can rent a car. However, young drivers can expect an extra charge and tighter home conditions. Many companies impose a young renter fee on top of the standard home rate. This covers the higher risk of accident or damage. While many car classes (like compact and mid-size) are available to young drivers, restrictions usually apply to luxury cars.
What do you need to rent a car in Santa Fe?
Renting a car in Santa Fe is a breeze. Usually, all that’s required is your driver’s license and a credit card in your name. After choosing a great set of wheels, read the terms and conditions to make sure there are no further requirements prior to pickup.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Santa Fe?
Yes, so there’s no need to rebook a holiday home car in the middle of your holiday. Go to our long-term car rental deals page, enter your trip information and secure a set of wheels to call your own for the length of your escape.
Where can I find a Santa Fe car rental if I am younger than 25?
This will depend on the car rental companies operating in Santa Fe. They often have different policies when it comes to minimum ages. If you’ve found a place that does cater to drivers under 25 years of age, keep in mind that additional fees may apply. Do some research into what those charges could be before booking your holiday home.
Can I drive in Santa Fe with my current driver's license?
If you don’t possess a driver’s license issued in the United States, you may be required to apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country before starting the home process. 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 current valid driver’s license and your passport or other forms of ID. Lastly, the credit card used to rent the car must also match the name on your driver’s license and passport in order to confirm your home. Some additional requirements for 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 years. We recommend checking local rules and regulations, as well as with the rental car company before you travel to understand all the regulations that may apply to you.
  • Driving limitations: Be sure to read the fine print before you leave the lot to avoid unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the U.S, it’s usually prohibited to cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, drive on ferries or traverse certain types of rugged terrain with your rental car. We recommend reading all the rules and regulations before booking!
