What should I have with me when I pick up my car rental in San Jose?

Be sure to bring your driver's license and a credit card in your name.

What's San Jose's minimum age to rent a car?

Avis's minimum age to rent a car in San Jose is 21. Some rentals, especially higher category vehicles (luxury, SUVs, etc.), may have an additional fee if you are under 25. Make sure to review Avis's policy to determine what the total cost is before you book.

Is there a particular car I should get for my trip to San Jose?

That depends on how many people you are traveling with and what you'll be doing when you visit San Jose. For bigger cities, like San Jose, you may find exploring and parking easier in a smaller car. Commute times in San Jose are around 29 minutes, so you may find a mid-size vehicle or SUV provides a more comfortable ride. Or if you want to keep your emissions down, then choose a hybrid vehicle. Those looking for a bit of luxury on their San Jose getaway can choose a higher-end category like a Mercedes C-Class or Audi A4 or similar.

Is insurance required when you rent a car in the United States?

In the United States you do need to have insurance before you rent a car. Although many of the major card issuers, like Visa or Discover, provide some coverage, there are usually restrictions. For instance, you may not be covered if you book a larger or luxury vehicle. Make sure to check credit card issuer's policy before you decide.

What is the fuel policy on my Avis car rental?

We advise a full tank policy. You should get into your automobile with a full tank, and you will want to refuel up to the amount you picked the car up with. To avoid any added expenses, it is best to find a filling station before you return the car to Avis.
