Frequently asked questions

What happens if I need to cancel my San José car reservation?
We’ve got good news! You should be given all of your money back if you cancel a minimum of six hours ahead of picking up the car. Your itinerary contains details about this, as does our Customer Service Portal. Not all prepaid bookings result in a refund though, so you may want to read through your car’s rental agreement.

What do you need to rent a car in San José?
Any rental company you select will ask for these two things — your driver’s license and a credit card in your name. If you want to opt out of the supplier’s insurance plan, proof of your own coverage may also be needed. Read your policy so you know what to bring when it’s time to collect your wheels.
Can I drive in San José with my U.S. Driver's license?
Yes, your current U.S. License is all you need to legally drive in San José. But if you’re the kind of person who likes to play it safe, pick up an International Driving Permit. It’s relatively easy to arrange.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in San José?
You can. Expedia partners with trusted companies that offer long-term rentals for all types of cars. Head to our long-term car rental deals and explore every turn of San José — or way beyond!
Where can I find a San José car rental if I am younger than 25?
If you’re a younger driver looking for a rental in San José, we suggest reading the policies of the various car rental companies you’re interested in. Some may rent to drivers under the age of 25, some may not. There may be additional fees if you’re between 21 and 24 years old. To avoid any unwanted surprises at the rental counter, make sure you do your research.
