Frequently asked questions

What happens if I need to cancel my San José car reservation?
Don’t stress. You should be eligible for a full refund if you cancel at least six hours ahead of picking up the car. Your confirmation contains details about this, as does our Customer Service Portal. Not all prepaid reservations will receive a refund though, so it’s a good idea to go over the car’s rental agreement.

What do you need to rent a car in San José?
Generally, you’ll need a current driver’s license and credit card in your name when picking up your vehicle. You may also need proof of coverage if you’d like to opt out of the company’s insurance policy. These requirements often differ between rental suppliers, so it’s a good idea to check the terms and conditions.
Can I drive in San José with my U.S. Driver's license?
Obtain an International Driving Permit if you’d like to drive in San José, as your U.S. License alone won’t be sufficient. You’ll need to carry both in order to legally jump behind the wheel here.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in San José?
Head to our long-term car rental deals page, enter your trip details and then choose a ride that suits. Whether you’re staying in San José or plan to journey beyond, Expedia will help you find a long-term rental at an excellent rate.
Where can I find a San José car rental if I am younger than 25?
Age policies are different between rental suppliers, so you’ll have to do a little homework. Managed to find a San José supplier that does rent to drivers under 25? Terrific! Just keep in mind that some companies charge extra fees to drivers between 21 and 24. The terms and conditions of each rental car you’re looking at should have all the information you need.
