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

In most cases, all you'll need is a driver's licence and credit card in your name when collecting the keys to your car. You may also need proof of coverage if you decide to opt out of the company's insurance plan. Requirements are likely to differ between rental providers, so be sure to check before you book.
What side of the road do you drive on in Santa María?
Cars drive on the right and pass on the left in Mexico — the same side as in the States. Road-tripping around Santa María won't be exactly the same as home, though. We recommend brushing up on the local road rules.

Where can I find a Santa María car rental if I am younger than 25?
Some Santa Marían outlets will rent cars to drivers under 25 years old, and others won't. Age policies differ between suppliers, so be prepared to do some research. Also, find out if there are any extra costs. Some outlets will apply a surcharge to young customers between the ages of 21 and 24. Always look through the terms and conditions to avoid any nasty surprises.
