How old do you have to be to rent a car in Santa Maria?
Santa Maria requires drivers to be 18 and above before they can rent a vehicle. However, young drivers will be subject to an extra cost and tighter home conditions. Most suppliers impose a daily young renter fee in addition to the normal car rental rate. This helps cover the higher risk of accident or damage. While many car classes (like mid-size and compact) are available to young motorists, restrictions generally apply to luxury cars.
What do you need to rent a car in Santa Maria?
Most of the time, all you’ll need is a valid driver’s license and credit card in your name when picking up the car. Proof of coverage may also be required if you decide to opt out of the company’s insurance policy. These requirements often differ between home suppliers, so it’s wise to check in advance.
What side of the road do you drive on in Santa Maria?
Travellers from the U.S. Will feel quite comfortable cruising around Santa Maria — motorists here stick to the right side.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Santa Maria?

Where can I find a Santa Maria car rental if I am younger than 25?
This will depend on the car rental companies operating in Santa Maria. They often have different policies when it comes to minimum ages. If you’ve found an outlet that does cater to drivers under 25 years of age, bear in mind that additional costs may apply. Do some research into what those charges could be before picking up your vehicle.
