How old do you have to be to rent a car in Santa Maria?
Santa Maria rules state drivers must be 21 and over before they can rent a vehicle. However, young drivers can expect an extra cost and stricter home conditions. Most providers impose a young renter fee on top of the usual car rental rate. This covers the extra risk of damage or accident. While many car classes (like compact and economy) are available to young motorists, restrictions usually apply to luxury and specialty vehicles.
What do you need to rent a car in Santa Maria?
Be prepared to present a valid driver’s license and a credit card in your name when you get to the home counter. Prior to the pickup date, check with your selected company whether other documentation is needed. For example, you may also need to show proof of auto insurance.
What side of the road do you drive on in Santa Maria?
As in the U.S, you’ll need to stick to the right in Peru. However, that doesn’t mean that all road rules are the same. Brush up on the traffic regulations before you hit the road in Santa Maria.
What is the cheapest car rental in Santa Maria?
AU$50 and AU$59 were the cheapest daily rates picked up by car rental customers in Santa Maria within the past seven days. These rates were available on Expedia, with a holiday home starting date within the next year. Prices and availability are subject to change and additional terms apply.
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?
Renting a car under the age of 25 in Santa Maria often depends on the holiday home supplier you select. Some businesses apply a surcharge for young customers between 21 and 24 years old, yet other companies may not have any additional costs for this age group. It’d be smart to understand the terms and conditions of your selected car rental dealer to avoid excessive charges when picking up your keys.
