Hiring a Car in San Jose: Good to Know

How to Find the Cheap Car Hire Deal in San Jose

Know Your Roadside Assistance Options

Before your trip, confirm if your rental includes roadside assistance. This can be crucial in case of breakdowns or emergencies during your rental period.
Check for included roadside assistance

Stay Informed About Local Driving Laws

Before traveling, familiarize yourself with local driving laws and regulations. This can help you avoid fines and ensure a safe driving experience.
Research driving regulations in your area

Consider in-terminal car hire company for convenience.

If you are travelling to San Jose and considering hiring a car, choosing an in-terminal car hire supplier can save you time and hassle. Find suppliers with locations right at the airport, allowing you to avoid shuttle buses or meet-and-greet services and ensuring a quicker and more convenient pickup.
Find in-terminal car hire for quick pickup

Understand Pet Policies

If you're traveling with pets, confirm the rental company's pet policy before booking. Some companies allow pets but may have specific fees or restrictions, so it’s best to clarify in advance.
Confirm the rental company's pet policy

Know how car hire duration affects pricing

in San Jose, car hires are billed on a daily basis. Renting for over 24 hours will incur a charge for an additional day, so be sure to plan your rental duration to avoid extra costs.
Plan your car hire duration wisely

Allow extra time for car pickup

When renting a car, especially after travelling by train, allocate extra time for pickup to account for possible delays. Most car hire companies offer a 30-60 minute grace period. Sharing your train number can be helpful, but if you're running late, be sure to contact the car hire provider to let them know.
Prepare in advance for a smooth car pickup experience

Confirm drop-off location to avoid confusion.

Before finalising your car hire in San Jose, make sure to confirm the drop-off location with your provider. This will help you save time and prevent any misunderstandings at the end of your car hire period.
Confirm your drop-off location

Avoid Central City Rentals

Renting outside busy areas can reduce costs and parking challenges.
Consider renting outside the city center
