Where can I find a Santa Clara hire car if I am younger than 25?
If you're a younger driver looking for a rental in Santa Clara, we recommend checking the terms and conditions of the hire car companies you're interested in. Some may rent to drivers under the age of 25, some may not. There may be surcharges if you're aged between 21 and 24. To avoid any unwanted surprises at the hire desk, 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 driver's license issued in the United States, then you may need to get an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your country of residence before hiring a car in the U.S. If you find that an IDP is required for you to drive in the U.S, note that you'll also need to show your current driver's license and your passport or other form of ID. Lastly, your credit card used to hire the car needs to match the name on your license and passport in order to confirm your hire. Additional requirements for car hire in the U.S. Are:
  • Age restrictions: You'll need to be 25 in most states to be able to hire a car, although in some places, the minimum age is 21 years. We recommend checking state and local regulations, as well as the hire car website before your trip to understand all the regulations that may apply to you.
  • Driving limitations: Be sure to read the fine print before you slide behind the wheel so you can avoid any unnecessary fees. When hiring a car in the U.S, it's usually prohibited to cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, use car ferries or traverse off-road areas with a hire car. Please read the details before you book!
