What happens if I need to cancel my Santa Maria car reservation?

What types of cars can I rent in Santa Maria?
Whatever suits your style! Go for a mid-size or full-size if you're travelling with the family, or scale up to a premium if you're chasing sophistication. Or, choose an economy model — the most booked rental in Santa Maria. Affordable and with excellent mileage, they're a good match for solo travellers, couples or anyone else who doesn't require loads of space. They're especially suited to exploring cities. Slipping into cramped parking spots will be a cinch!
Where can I go on a road trip from Santa Maria?
Santa Maria offers adventures galore, but don't limit yourself to one place. Rent some wheels and hit the road to see what's in the wider area. These are some great options:

  • Make tracks to Lima for an excellent sightseeing adventure. Around 121 kilometres from Santa Maria, it has many great attractions like Waikiki Beach.
  • Situated 177 kilometres away, Huaraz is also a favourite with wanderers. Set aside time to get to Huaraz Plaza de Armas while you're here. It's one of the reasons people love this thriving city.
  • Get out into nature and breathe in some fresh air at Asia Beach. It's approximately 225 kilometres from Santa Maria.

How old do you have to be to rent a car in Santa Maria?
Drivers with a valid licence aged 21 and over can rent a vehicle in Santa Maria. While some companies may be willing to accommodate drivers younger than 21, this will come with additional fees. Find out what age range the young renter fee applies to, and what it costs, before booking. Suppliers also restrict the types of cars available to young drivers. Higher age limits apply for luxury and specialty vehicles.
What do you need to rent a car in Santa Maria?
Before you can road trip around Santa Maria, you'll need a driver's licence and a credit card in the same name. If you prefer not to take out the rental company's insurance plan, you may also have to show proof of other coverage. Rules may vary, so understand the policy terms and conditions before you select a rental provider.
What side of the road do you drive on in Santa Maria?
Traffic drives on the right and passes on the left in Peru — the same side as in the States. Travelling around Santa Maria won't be exactly like home, though. We recommend familiarising yourself with the local traffic rules.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Santa Maria?
Expedia makes it a snap to score a reliable long-term car rental in Santa Maria. Just visit our long-term car rental deals page, enter your trip information and compare your possibilities.
Where can I find a Santa Maria car rental if I am younger than 25?
Some Santa Maria companies will rent cars to drivers under 25, and others won't. Policies differ from supplier to supplier, so you should do your homework. Also, find out if there are any extra costs. Some places will apply a surcharge to young customers between 21 and 24. Always check the terms and conditions to avoid any surprise fees.
