How old do you have to be to rent a car in Santa Maria?
Usually, the requirement is 21 years of age and over in Santa Maria. You should be aware that most companies have a young driver surcharge.

Keep in mind that if you’re planning to rent a luxury vehicle or a larger car like a premium SUV, rules may require drivers to be older than 21.
What do you need to rent a car in Santa Maria?
Any home company you choose will ask for these two things — a valid driver’s license and credit card. If you’d prefer to opt out of the provider’s insurance plan, proof of other coverage will also likely be needed. Check your policy so you know what to bring with you to the home counter.
What side of the road do you drive on in Santa Maria?
Whether you’re spending time in Santa Maria or road-tripping around Spain, you’ll be driving on the right side. While this is obviously the same as at home, there will be some differences in road rules.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Santa Maria?
You can, and the great news is companies often offer lower prices the longer your holiday home term. Check out our long-term car rental deals in Santa Maria and drive off with a serious bargain.
Where can I find a Santa Maria car rental if I am younger than 25?
This will depend on the holiday home companies located in Santa Maria. They often have different age policies. If you’ve found a place that does cater to drivers under the age of 25 take note that extra costs may apply. Conduct some research into any extra charges before booking your holiday home.
