What happens if I need to cancel my Santa Maria car reservation?
We appreciate that flexibility is important. That's why the majority of prepaid bookings provide a complete refund if you notify us a minimum of six hours before collecting the car. It's a good idea to read over the cancellation policy though because there are some exceptions. If you can't find the answer there, click on our Customer Service Portal.

How old do you have to be to rent a car in Santa Maria?

What side of the road do you drive on in Santa Maria?
Cars drive on the right and pass on the left in Italy — the same side as in the U.S. Road-tripping around Santa Maria won't be exactly like home, though. We recommend brushing up on the local road rules.

Where can I find a Santa Maria car rental if I am younger than 25?
Some Santa Maria outlets will rent to drivers under 25 years old, and others won't. Policies differ between suppliers, so you'll need to do your homework. Also, find out if there are additional costs. Some places will pass on a surcharge to customers between 21 and 24. Always read through the terms and conditions to avoid any nasty surprises.
