Where can I find a Santa Clara hire car if I am younger than 25?
You'll need to investigate the age policy of the Santa Clara rental suppliers you're considering. If you're under the age of 25, some companies will charge additional costs. It's better to know this before collecting the vehicle so you can tailor your budget accordingly. Every rental car company has its own terms and conditions for young drivers, so it's smart to do your research.
Can I drive in Santa Clara with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a license from the United States, then you may need to apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country before hiring a car. If you find that an IDP is part of the requirements to drive in the U.S, be aware that you'll also have to show your current driver's license and your passport or other form of ID. Lastly, the credit card used to hire the vehicle must also match the name on your driver's license and passport in order to finalize your car hire. Other things you should know about hiring a car in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You'll need to be 25 in many states in order to hire a car, although in some places the minimum age is 21. We recommend checking state and local regulations, as well as with the company you're hiring from before you go to understand additional terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Read the fine print before you leave the lot so you can avoid any unnecessary fees. When hiring a car in the United States, it's usually prohibited to cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, use car ferries or traverse rough terrain with a hired car. Please read all the rules and regulations before booking!
