How old do you have to be to rent a car in Santa Fe?

You’ll generally be limited to a few car categories, such as compact and mid-size, and may also have to purchase comprehensive insurance. Be sure to enter the correct age of the primary driver when booking to find out if any restrictions apply.
What do you need to rent a car in Santa Fe?
Two things — a valid driver’s license and a credit card in your name. Car rental companies will offer you insurance, which is optional. But you may be asked to provide proof of other coverage if you prefer to opt out. Be sure to check with your supplier to avoid any hassles.

Where can I find a Santa Fe car rental if I am younger than 25?
If you’re a young driver hoping to book a holiday home in Santa Fe, it’d be wise to check the terms and conditions of the various holiday home companies you’re interested in. Some may rent to drivers under the age of 25 some may not. There may be extra fees if you’re between 21 and 24 years of age. To avoid any unwanted surprises on pickup, make sure you know what to expect.
Can I drive in Santa Fe with my current driver's license?
If you don’t possess a driver’s license issued in the United States, you might need to get an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your country of residence before starting the home process. If you find that an IDP is part of the requirements to drive in the U.S, be aware that you’ll also have to show your current valid driver’s license and your passport or other forms of ID. Lastly, the credit card used to rent the car needs to match the name on your license and passport in order to confirm your home. Some additional requirements for 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 areas, 21 years and older is allowed. We recommend checking local rules and regulations, and with the car rental company before your trip to understand additional terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Don’t forget to read the fine print before you slide behind the wheel so you can avoid any unnecessary charges. When renting a car in the United States, it’s usually prohibited to cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, use car ferries or traverse rough terrain with a rental car. Please read all the rules and regulations before booking!
