What types of cars can I rent in Santa Maria?
Not too small and not too big, compact cars are the top choice for many visiting motorists in Santa Maria.

How old do you have to be to rent a car in Santa Maria?
Rental car rules in Santa Maria require drivers to be at least 21. Are you a young driver? A few surcharges and restrictions could apply. Many rental suppliers impose what's known as a young renter surcharge, which is an extra fee to the cost of the rental car. Restrictions generally apply to the categories of cars available to young motorists as well. Age limits may differ between companies, so check before booking.
What do you need to rent a car in Santa Maria?
The main things are your driver's licence and a credit card in the same name. Most car rental companies will offer you insurance, which is optional. But you may be asked to provide proof of other coverage if you choose to opt out. We recommend checking with your rental provider to avoid any issues.
What side of the road do you drive on in Santa Maria?
Like the States, you'll need to stick to the right in Philippines. But that doesn't mean other rules are the same. Get familiar with the local traffic regulations before you hit the road in Santa Maria.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Santa Maria?
You can. We partner with reputable suppliers that offer long-term rentals for many car categories. Reserve one of our long-term car rental deals and explore every bit of Santa Maria — or way beyond!
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 rental providers you're interested in. If you're under the age of 25, some companies will charge additional costs. It's best to know this before collecting the vehicle so you can have the funds ready. Each rental car company has its own terms and conditions for younger drivers, so do your research.
