Cheap Hertz Car Hire in San Jose

A compact vehicle is easier to park and maneuver in congested city streets.

Steer clear of peak traffic times to minimize delays and frustration.

If you have a specific vehicle in mind, opt for rentals that guarantee your chosen car type. This ensures that you receive the vehicle you expect, rather than being offered an alternative.

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. Suppliers like Hertz have locations right at the airport, allowing you to avoid shuttle buses or meet-and-greet services and ensuring a quicker and more convenient pickup.

Ensure that you have a valid driving licence with at least one year of driving experience. If you are a foreign driver travelling to San Jose, an international driving permit may be required. Remember, hire rates can be higher for drivers under 25 or over 70

If you plan to share driving, check if the rental company allows a second driver and whether there are additional fees. Some companies offer free second driver options under certain conditions.

Research fuel prices in the area where you'll return the vehicle. Filling up at a local station may be cheaper than paying for fuel through the rental company, especially if they charge higher rates.
