What do you need to rent a car in San José?
Your driver’s license and a credit card in the same name are necessities. Opting out of the company’s insurance plan? If that’s the case, you may need proof of other coverage. Rules can differ between rental companies, so read through your policy.
Can I drive in San José with my U.S. Driver's license?
Organize an International Driving Permit if you’d like to drive in San José, as your U.S. License alone won’t be adequate. You’ll need to have both in order to legally hit the road here.

Where can I find a San José car rental if I am younger than 25?
Age policies are different between rental companies, so be prepared to do a bit of shopping around. Managed to find a San José outlet that does rent to under 25s? Great news!
