What do you need to rent a car in Santa Clara?
Any rental company you choose will need these two things — a current driver’s license and a credit card in your name.

Can I drive in Santa Clara with my U.S. Driver's license?

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