What do you need to rent a car in Santa Clara?
Any rental company you select will ask for these two things — your driver’s license and credit card. If you choose 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 car.
Can I drive in Santa Clara with my U.S. Driver's license?
No, so we recommend that you get an International Driving Permit. If you plan to drive in Santa Clara, you’ll need it in addition to your U.S. License. Organizing this permit is straightforward and should be done before taking off on your adventure.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Santa Clara?
Expedia makes it easy to score an affordable long-term car rental in Santa Clara. Just click on our long-term car rental deals page, enter your trip preferences and compare your options.
Where can I find a Santa Clara car rental if I am younger than 25?
Whether you can rent a vehicle if you are under 25 in Santa Clara often depends on the rental company you select. Some places apply a surcharge for young drivers aged between 21 and 24 years, but others may not apply any extra fees for this age range. It’d be smart to read the terms and conditions of your chosen rental company to escape extra costs at the rental desk.
