Answers to popular questions

A rental car typically costs 22$ a day. However, the costs start at 9$ per day and can go as high as 87$ per day. The final price is directly influenced by the category of rental vehicles, the vehicle's features, your age, the date of booking, the length of the rental, etc.

Even if you caused the damage, third-party insurance is usually included in the rental price. This insurance does not cover car or driver damage.
Many base contracts include a large deductible (damages not insured by the rental provider). If you cause an accident, you must pay the contract's deductible to repair the rental car. You can add extra insurance to your rental to cover car damage. Did you know that some banks cover you when traveling if you used your card to pay?

When going on vacation, renting a car in San Jose gives you the freedom to go wherever you want, whenever you want, and on your own schedule. Because of this, it is virtually always a smart decision to get behind the wheel.It is always beneficial to have the freedom to travel during times that are less likely to be crowded on public transportation, such as early in the morning or late at night, should you find that to be more convenient.

You can rent almost any kind of car in San Jose, from small, cheap cars to high-end ones. Here are some things you might want to think about:

A size of the car: A bigger car may be more comfortable on the highway, but many beautiful villages in San Jose have narrow streets. Parking garages are often small, and getting in and out of them can be a nightmare. VW Up is the most well-liked model among economy classes in San Jose. From EUROPCAR the daily rate for this vehicle begins at 14$. For those who want some extra comfort and have the appropriate budget, EAST COAST is ready to offer a Business-class model - BMW 5 series, price starts at 59$ per day.
Most rental cars in San Jose are manual, but more and more automatic cars are becoming available. Automatic cars usually cost more to rent, and if your license only lets you drive an automatic car, you won't be able to rent a stick shift car.

The search result and your voucher both show the most likely model. The car class is reserved at all rental car agencies, nonetheless, in accordance with global car rental regulations. When you arrive at the office, you can choice the color and model of the car you want. Here is an explanation of the various car classes:

Car rental models

However, in some cases you can reserve a particular model. If such an option is available, a special notation will appear next to the car in the search results.

Major car rental agencies are slowly starting to accept debit cards, but you should verify this before making a reservation because it remains the exception rather than the rule.
