Important information about Sunnyvale car rentals

How to get from San Jose International Airport (SJC) to the car rental center

If you are coming to Sunnyvale via San Jose International Airport (SJC), you won’t have challenges accessing the car rental center. If you arrive via Terminal A, you will receive a courtesy shuttle from agencies like National, Avis, and Enterprise to get you there. The shuttle departs at a 10-minute interval between 7 am and 10 pm and leaves every 20 minutes between 10 pm and midnight. If you do not book in advance, you will pay a small fee to use the service. If using Terminal B, go past the baggage claim area and find the facility across the street. Furthermore, some agencies run their services from an off-airport location and usually provide a shuttle or pick-up service from SJC. They include Payless, Thrifty, Budget, SIXT, Dollar, and Fox.

What documentation do I need to rent a car in Sunnyvale?

When hiring a car in Sunnyvale, having all the required documents is important. Domestic renters must present valid driver’s licenses issued by the US or Canada, which are valid for the entire rental duration. Remember to leave a copy of your driver’s license with the representative when picking up your car. It might become useful if there’s an issue during the pick-up or drop-off. Renters from foreign nations must present valid driver’s licenses issued in their home countries. And if the driver’s license is in a language other than English, ensure you bring an International Driver’s Permit (IDP). Some agencies might request secondary identification documents. In this case, carry your passport, an original photo, and a copy of your round-trip ticket. Payment for the car rental service is by a major credit card in your name, such as Visa, Union Pay, or MasterCard.

What driving laws should I keep an eye out for in Sunnyvale?

Knowing basic traffic regulations will save you from trouble when driving a rental car in Sunnyvale. The minimum legal age for driving in San Jose is 21, although this might vary based on the rental agency and the vehicle classes. Most of the companies rent only to drivers above 25. Before hitting the road, know the rules concerning the lanes, insurance, and driver’s license. Like the rest of the US, drivers in Sunnyvale keep to the right-hand side of the road, overtaking on the left. With a zero-tolerance law on driving under the influence, authorities hand punitive penalties to those who exceed a blood alcohol concentration of 0.08%. Observe the speed limits for various zones. For instance, do not exceed 30 mph when driving through residential areas and the business district. As a driver of the car, you are responsible for ensuring that every passenger in the vehicle aged over 16 wears a seat belt, whether at the front or back. Those below 16 must be strapped in appropriate child seats and boosters.

Can I drive to other states, regions, or countries with a rental car from Sunnyvale?

Most car rental companies will allow you to drive a Sunnyvale rental car into other cities, regions, and countries. If you rent with international rental agencies such as Avis, Enterprise, and Dollar, you can conveniently cross to other cities like Santa Clara and Fremont or venture into other states like Nevada, Arizona, and Oregon. Nevertheless, you must fulfill some requirements, particularly if you intend to drop off the rental car at a different location other than where you picked it up from. Usually, a one-way rental is convenient if you take this option. Concerning the inter-country borders, you can drive a rental car to Canada without any challenges. Still, some agencies only allow travel by rental vehicle of up to a few miles past the Mexican border, while others do not allow driving into Mexico. It might be helpful to check with your agency when booking.
