How old do I have to be to rent a car in San Jose?

What kind of Dollar rental car should I get for my trip to San Jose?

That all depends on your needs 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 compact automobile. Commute times in San Jose average 29 minutes, so you may find a SUV or mid-size car more comfortable. If you want to lower your emissions and save on gas, then choose a hybrid vehicle. Those looking for a touch of extravagance on their San Jose trip can choose a higher-end vehicle like a Mercedes C-Class or Audi A4 or similar.

Do I need insurance when I rent a car in the United States?

In the United States you do need to have insurance before you rent from Dollar. Many of the major credit card issuers (Discover, American Express, Visa and MasterCard) usually provide some coverage. However, many of them have limitations, such as not covering bigger vehicles, like trucks or SUVs. It is best to find out exactly what your credit card will cover and how much before you head to San Jose.

Do I need to pay a deposit when I book my Dollar car rental?

Dollar requires a deposit when you book your rental car. Dollar will block the deposit on your credit once you book your vehicle for your trip to San Jose. Please note that the deposit can vary greatly based on the make and model of the rental.

Do I have to return my Dollar rental with a full tank?

At CarRentals.com, we recommend a full to full policy. You pick up your Dollar rental with full tank, and you should return it with a full tank of gas. If you want to keep your expenses lower, it is best to fill up your tank before you return the car to Dollar. Stations near airports or car rental places tend to have higher prices.

Why should I get unlimited miles?

San Jose is a large city, so there is going to be a lot to do. You may not want to worry about your mileage limits if you are planning to see what else California has to offer.
