The essentials are your driver’s license and a credit card in the same name. Many car rental companies will offer you insurance, which is optional. But you may be asked to provide proof of other coverage if you opt out. Make sure you check with your rental provider to avoid any issues.
Can I drive in Santa Maria with my U.S. Driver's license?
You can, but if you want to be sure, obtain an International Driving Permit to accompany your license. The permit features your name, photo and driver’s details and is a handy additional identification document.

Where can I find a Santa Maria car rental if I am younger than 25?
You’ll need to look up the age policy of the Santa Maria rental providers you’re considering. If you’re under 25 years of age, some will charge additional costs. It’s useful to know this in advance so you can plan your budget accordingly. Every rental car company has its own terms and conditions for younger drivers, so it pays to do your research.
