How old do you have to be to rent a car in Downtown San Jose?
Drivers aged 21 and above can hit the road in Downtown San Jose in a rental car. If you're a young motorist, a daily surcharge will apply. You'll generally have fewer car categories to select from, such as compact and mid-size, and may also be required to purchase comprehensive insurance. Always enter the correct age of the main driver when booking to find out if any restrictions apply.
What do you need to rent a car in Downtown San Jose?
Most rental companies will require two things — a current driver's license and a credit card in your name. If you decide to opt out of the provider's insurance plan, proof of other coverage will also likely be needed. Check your policy so you know what to bring when it's time to collect your wheels.

Where can I find a Downtown San Jose car rental if I am younger than 25?
Age policies are different between rental companies, so you'll have to do a little homework. Managed to find a Downtown San Jose outlet that does rent to drivers under 25 years of age? Terrific! Just bear in mind that some companies charge additional fees to drivers between the ages of 21 and 24. The fine print of each rental car you're considering should have all the information you need.
