Any home company you choose will need these two things — your driver’s license and a credit card in your name.

Where can I find a Santa Clara car rental if I am younger than 25?
If you’re a young driver looking for a car rental in Santa Clara, we recommend reading the terms and conditions of the car rental companies you’re interested in. Some may rent to drivers under 25 some may not. Surcharges may apply if you’re aged between 21 and 24. To escape any surprise fees and charges at the home desk, make sure you know exactly what to expect.
Can I drive in Santa Clara with my current driver's license?
If you don’t have a license issued in the U.S, you may be required to get an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your country of residence before renting a car. If you find that an IDP is required, be aware that you’ll also have to show your current valid driver’s license and your passport or other forms of ID. Lastly, your credit card used to rent the car must match the name on your license and passport in order to finalize your car rental. Other things you should know about rental cars in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You must be at least 25 in many states in order to rent a car, although in some areas, 21 years and older is allowed. We recommend checking local rules and regulations, as well as with the company you’re renting from before you go to understand additional terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Be sure to read the fine print before you leave the lot so you can avoid any unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the U.S, it’s usually prohibited to cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, drive on ferries or traverse rough terrain with your home. Please read the regulations before you book!
