What do you need to rent a car in San José?
Most rental companies will require two things — a current driver’s license and a credit card in your name. If you decide to opt out of the supplier’s insurance plan, proof of other coverage will also likely be needed. Read through your policy so you know what to bring when it’s time to collect your car.
Can I drive in San José with my U.S. Driver's license?
Certainly, provided that your U.S. License is valid. But consider getting an International Driving Permit anyway. They’re relatively easy to arrange, and with one, you’ll be allowed to drive in other places if your travel plans extend beyond San José.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in San José?
Yes, and you’re sure to find your ideal set of wheels on our long-term car rental deals page. Just enter your trip dates and we’ll list fabulous options from numerous leading companies.
Where can I find a San José car rental if I am younger than 25?
Age policies differ between rental companies, so you’ll have to do a bit of research. Managed to find a San José supplier that does rent to drivers under 25 years of age? Great! Just take note that a surcharge often applies to drivers aged between 21 and 24. The fine print of each rental car you’re looking at will have all the information you need.
