What do you need to rent a car in Paraiso?
Most rental companies will need these two things — your driver's licence and credit card. If you'd prefer to opt out of the provider's insurance plan, proof of other coverage will also likely be needed. Read your policy thoroughly so you know what to bring when it's time to pick up the keys.

Where can I find a Paraiso car rental if I am younger than 25?
Some Paraiso providers will rent cars to drivers under 25 years old, and others won't. Age policies differ between suppliers, so you'll have to do some research. Also, find out if there are extra costs. Some places will pass on a surcharge to customers between 21 and 24. Make sure you read through the terms and conditions to avoid any surprise fees.
