Secure your wheels without paying in advance with our Book Now Pay Later option. When it’s time to pick up your car in Goleta, just have whoever’s driving hand over a valid credit card to pay the cost in full. The car rental company will also place a hold on your credit card in the amount of the deposit. It’s the ideal way to help you budget for your trip and avoid paying for everything all at once. Bear in mind that prepayment applies to some cheaper rental deals. Expedia search results will display if a car is eligible for “pay at pickup.”

There are always times when even the best-laid plans go wrong. That’s why we offer a full refund on many prepaid rentals if you let us know six hours prior to collecting the car. Remember to double-check the rental policy — sometimes it’s not included. Can’t find anything there? Our Customer Service Portal is always here to help.

Whatever meets your needs! Go for an intermediate or full-size if you’re with the family, or level up to a premium for sleek sophistication. Or, choose an economy vehicle — the most popular rental in Goleta. Affordable and with excellent mileage, they’re perfect for solo travelers, couples or anyone else who doesn’t require a huge amount of space. They’re particularly suited to city driving. Slipping into cramped parking spots will be a piece of cake!

Anyone with a valid driver’s license 21 and above can rent a car in Goleta. While some outlets may be willing to accommodate drivers younger than 21, a fee will be added. Find out what age range the young driver surcharge applies to, and the cost, before locking in your ride. Suppliers also restrict the categories of cars available to young drivers. Higher limits are in place for large vehicles like premium SUVs and luxury models.

The main requirements are your driver’s license and a credit card in the same name. Most car rental companies will offer you insurance, which is optional. But you may have to provide proof of other coverage if you choose to opt out. Be sure to check your policy requirements to avoid any issues.
