What types of cars can I rent in Santa Clara?
Busy city streets and tight parking spots are no bother for an economy car — the most sought-after type of rental in Santa Clara. Slide behind the wheel of one of these and manoeuvre around traffic effortlessly. Reliable, affordable and good on gas, these small rides pack a punch. But Santa Clara can be explored in almost any sort of rental you like. Compacts, SUVs and full-size vehicles are some other options to choose from.

How old do you have to be to rent a car in Santa Clara?
In Santa Clara, the requirement is usually 18 years and over. Most outlets will charge extra fees for young drivers, which can differ based on the rental location. Rental agreements for young drivers may include restrictions for certain vehicles, such as premium SUVs, and require comprehensive insurance to be taken out. Remember to check the fine print before choosing your wheels.
What do you need to rent a car in Santa Clara?
In most cases, all you'll need is a driver's licence and a credit card in the same name when picking up the vehicle. Proof of coverage may also be required if you'd prefer to opt out of the company's insurance plan. Rules often differ between rental companies, so it's a good idea to check while booking.

Where can I find a Santa Clara car rental if I am younger than 25?
Renting a vehicle if you're under 25 years in Santa Clara often depends on the rental company you choose.

It'd be smart to understand the terms and conditions of your preferred car rental dealer to escape excessive charges at the rental desk.
