How old do you have to be to rent a car in Santa Maria?
You’ll need to be 18 and over to pick up the keys to a home vehicle in Santa Maria. Be aware that young drivers may only be able to rent from a few car classes, such as compact and economy. Higher age limits usually apply for larger vehicles like premium SUVs. Many providers will also charge a fee for young renters. Read through the rules before booking and factor any extra fees into your holiday budget.
What do you need to rent a car in Santa Maria?
The essentials are a valid driver’s license and a credit card in your name. Most car rental companies will offer you insurance, which is optional. But you may have to provide proof of alternative coverage if you choose to opt out. Check your policy terms and conditions to avoid any problems.
What side of the road do you drive on in Santa Maria?
Vehicles drive on the right and pass on the left in Italy — the same as in the States. Driving around Santa Maria won’t be exactly the same as home, though. You should familiarize yourself with the local road rules.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Santa Maria?
Yes, and the wonderful news is suppliers often offer lower prices the longer your holiday home term. Browse our long-term car rental deals in Santa Maria and cruise off with a real bargain.
Where can I find a Santa Maria car rental if I am younger than 25?
You’ll need to look up the age policy of the Santa Maria holiday home providers you’re considering. If you’re under the age of 25 some will charge additional costs. It’s useful to know this before collecting the vehicle so you can budget accordingly. Each holiday home car company has its own rules for younger drivers, so be sure to do your research.
