How old do you have to be to rent a car in Santa Maria?
Anyone with a valid driver's licence 18 and over can rent a vehicle in Santa Maria. While some companies may be willing to accommodate drivers younger than 18, a fee will be added. Find out what ages the young driver surcharge applies to, and the associated cost, before making your reservation. Suppliers also restrict the types of cars available to young drivers. Higher age limits apply for specialty and luxury vehicles.
What do you need to rent a car in Santa Maria?
Two things — your driver's licence and a credit card in the same name. Many car rental companies will offer you insurance, which is optional. But you may have to provide proof of alternative coverage if you prefer to opt out. We recommend checking with your supplier to avoid any problems.
What side of the road do you drive on in Santa Maria?
Journeying around Santa Maria may feel like second nature to drivers from the U.S. This place, and the rest of Italy, sticks to the right side of the road.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Santa Maria?
Yes, which means you won't have to rebook a rental car halfway through your holiday. Visit our long-term car rental deals page, enter your trip information and reserve a set of wheels that's all yours for the length of your break.
Where can I find a Santa Maria car rental if I am younger than 25?
If you're a younger driver looking for a car rental in Santa Maria, we recommend reading the policies of the rental companies you're interested in. Some may rent to drivers under 25, some may not. There may be extra costs if you're aged between 21 and 24. To escape any nasty surprises at the rental counter, make sure you know what those charges are if they apply to you.
