Can I drive in Santa Maria with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a driver's license from the United States, you might need to apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your country of residence 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 form of ID. Lastly, your credit card used to rent the vehicle must match the name on your 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'll need to be 25 or older in many states in order to rent a car, although in some areas allow drivers as young as 21. We recommend checking local rules and regulations, and with the car rental company before you go to understand all the regulations that may apply to you.
  • Driving limitations: Read the fine print before you get behind the wheel to avoid unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the United States, you usually can't cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, use car ferries or traverse certain types of rugged terrain with your home. Please read all the rules and regulations before you book!
