How old do you have to be to rent a car in San Jose?
If you’re aged 21 and over, you can rent a vehicle in San Jose. Bear in mind that home companies will charge an extra fee if you’re a young driver, which helps cover the higher accident or damage risk involved. Also, young drivers are often restricted from renting luxury cars or larger vehicles. Check the terms and conditions before you book to avoid any surprises when it’s time to pick up the keys.
What do you need to rent a car in San Jose?
Most home companies will need these two things — a current driver’s license and a credit card in your name. If you decide to opt out of the supplier’s insurance plan, proof of your own coverage will also likely be needed. Read your policy thoroughly so you know what to bring with you to the home counter.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in San Jose?
Check out our long-term car rental deals page, enter your preferences and then reserve your perfect ride. Whether you’re staying put in San Jose or discovering beyond, Expedia will help you find a long-term holiday home at an amazing rate.
Where can I find a San Jose car rental if I am younger than 25?
This depends on the holiday home car companies that are in San Jose. They often have different age policies. If you’ve found a supplier that does cater to drivers under 25 bear in mind that extra costs may apply. Do some research into any extra charges before collecting the vehicle.
