How old do you have to be to rent a car in Downtown Santa Fe?
Downtown Santa Fe requires drivers to be at least 21 before they can rent a car. However, young drivers will be subject to an extra cost and some restrictions on choice. Most providers impose a daily young renter fee on top of the normal car rental rate. This helps cover the extra risk of damage or accident. While many car classes (like economy and compact) are available to young renters, restrictions usually apply to specialty and luxury vehicles.
What do you need to rent a car in Downtown Santa Fe?
While requirements can differ between outlets, the essentials are your driver’s license and a credit card. You don’t need to take out auto insurance with your home provider. However, proof of alternative coverage may be necessary.

Where can I find a Downtown Santa Fe car rental if I am younger than 25?
You’ll need to investigate the age policy of the Downtown Santa Fe holiday home suppliers you’re interested in. If you’re under 25 years of age, some companies will charge extra costs. It’s better to know this before arriving at the desk so you can have the funds ready. Each holiday home car company has its own terms and conditions for young drivers, so it pays to do your research.
Can I drive in Downtown Santa Fe with my current driver's license?
If you don’t have a license issued in the United States, you might need to get an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your country of residence before renting a car in the U.S. If you find that an IDP is part of the requirements to drive in the U.S, know that you’ll also have to show your current driver’s license and your passport or other forms of ID. Lastly, the credit card that was used to rent the car must also match the name on your driver’s license and passport in order to confirm your home. Other things you should know about renting a car in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You need to be 25 or older in many states in order to rent a car, although in some places the minimum age is 21. We recommend checking state and local regulations, and with the car rental company before you go to understand all the regulations that may apply to you.
  • Driving limitations: Don’t forget to read the fine print before you slide behind the wheel to avoid unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the United States, you usually can’t cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, drive onto ferries or traverse certain types of rugged terrain with your home vehicle. Please read the regulations before you book!
