Frequently asked questions

What happens if I need to cancel my San Jose car reservation?
When you cancel at least six hours prior to the scheduled collection time, many prepaid reservations offer a refund.

What do you need to rent a car in San Jose?
Most rental companies will need these two things — your driver’s license and a credit card in your name. If you’d prefer to opt out of the provider’s insurance plan, proof of your own coverage will also likely be needed. Read your policy thoroughly so you know what to bring when it’s time to collect your wheels.
Can I drive in San Jose with my U.S. Driver's license?
Your U.S. License won’t be enough for you to take to the road in San Jose. You’ll also require an International Driving Permit which features your driver details, name and photo. Apply for this permit before you head off.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in San Jose?
Yes, so there’s no need to rebook a rental car mid-vacation. Go to our long-term car rental deals page, enter your trip details and book a set of wheels that’s all yours for the next month or so.
Where can I find a San Jose car rental if I am younger than 25?
You’ll need to look up the age policy of the San Jose rental providers you’re interested in. If you’re under 25, some companies will charge additional fees. It’s good to know this before collecting the vehicle so you can tailor your budget accordingly. Every rental car company has its own rules for young drivers, so it’d be wise to do your research.
