Where can I find a Santa Clara hire car if I am younger than 25?
Some Santa Clara outlets will rent cars to drivers under 25, and others won’t. Policies differ between suppliers, so you’ll need to do your homework. Also, find out if there are extra costs. Some places will have a surcharge for young customers between the ages of 21 and 24. Always read through the terms and conditions to avoid any nasty surprises.
Can I drive in Santa Clara with my current driver's license?
If you don’t have a driver’s license from the U.S, then you may need to organise an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country before hiring a car. If you find that an IDP is required, know that you’ll also have to show your current valid driver’s license and your passport or other form of ID. Lastly, the credit card you used to hire the vehicle needs to match the name on your license and passport in order to finalize your car hire. Some additional requirements for hiring a car in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You must be at least 25 in many states to hire a car, although in some areas allow drivers as young as 21. We recommend checking local rules and regulations, as well as the hire car website before your trip to understand all the terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Make sure you read the fine print before you slide behind the wheel so you can avoid any unnecessary charges. When hiring a car in the U.S, you usually can’t cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, drive onto ferries or go off-roading with a hire car. Please read the regulations before you book!
