The main things are a current driver’s license and a credit card. Make sure that both are in the driver’s name. Got more than one motorist in your party? They should also be there at the time of collection and present the same documents. Don’t forget to check your policy agreement for details about any insurance you may require too.
What side of the road do you drive on on Santa Maria?
The right-hand side. While this will feel quite normal, driving someplace new still comes with obstacles. Brush up on the local road rules before road-tripping around Santa Maria.
Can I drive in Santa Maria with my U.S. Driver's license?
Yes. If you have a valid U.S. Driver’s license, you’re allowed to drive on Santa Maria. But before you head off on your exciting adventure, we advise applying for an International Driving Permit. This document is simple to obtain and can be used as an additional form of photo identification.

Yes, so get set to adjust to island time and discover this fascinating destination at your own speed. From compact cars to roomy SUVs, you’re bound to find a great set of wheels here. Just choose your dates and pickup and drop-off locations to see the best Santa Maria long-term car rental deals.
Where can I find a Santa Maria car rental if I am younger than 25?
This generally depends on the car rental company you select on Santa Maria. Some may rent vehicles to motorists under 25 years of age, but this commonly comes with extra fees. If you’re aged between 21 and 24, a young renter fee may apply to your rental and you may also be restricted to certain car categories. Look up the age policy of your chosen outlet and if extra costs apply.
