Where can I find a Santa María car rental if I am younger than 25?
Some Santa María providers will rent cars to drivers under 25, and others won’t. Policies differ between suppliers, so you’ll have to do your homework. Also, find out if there are any extra costs. Some outlets will pass on a surcharge to customers between 21 and 24. Make sure you read through the terms and conditions to avoid any surprise fees.
