What do you need to rent a car in Santa Marta?
Any rental company you select will require two things — a valid driver's licence and credit card. If you choose to opt out of the supplier's insurance plan, proof of your own coverage will also likely be needed. Read your policy thoroughly so you know what to bring when it's time to pick up your ride.

Where can I find a Santa Marta car rental if I am younger than 25?
You'll need to check the age policy of the Santa Marta rental providers you're interested in. If you're under 25 years of age, some will charge additional fees. It's useful to know about this ahead of time so you can tailor your budget accordingly. Every rental car company has its own rules for younger drivers, so be sure to do your research.
