Frequently asked questions

What happens if I need to cancel my San José car reservation?
We understand that plans change and flexibility is important. That’s why most prepaid reservations offer a complete refund if you let us know six hours in advance of pickup. You may want to scan the policy though as there are some exclusions. If there’s nothing specified there, make your way to our Customer Service Portal.

What do you need to rent a car in San José?
The essentials are a valid driver’s license and a credit card in your name. Many car rental companies will offer you insurance, which is optional. But you may be asked to provide proof of other coverage if you prefer to opt out. Check your policy requirements to avoid any issues.
Can I drive in San José with my U.S. Driver's license?
Yes, you can. If you have a valid U.S. License, you’re permitted to drive in San José. You’re unlikely to need an International Driving Permit. However, they are quite easy to pick up, so it’d be a good idea to organize one anyway.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in San José?
Head to our long-term car rental deals page, enter your trip details and then secure a ride that suits. Whether you’re basing yourself in San José or venturing far beyond, Expedia will help you find a long-term rental at a fabulous rate.
Where can I find a San José car rental if I am younger than 25?
Age policies differ between rental companies, so you’ll have to do a little research. Found a San José outlet that does rent to under 25s? Great! Just keep in mind that some companies charge additional fees to drivers aged between 21 and 24. The terms and conditions of each rental car you’re considering should have all the details you need.
