Frequently asked questions

What happens if I need to cancel my Santa Cruz car reservation?
Don’t stress. You should receive a total refund if you notify us more than six hours ahead of the scheduled pickup time. Your confirmation contains information about this, as does our Customer Service Portal. Not all prepaid bookings qualify for a refund though, so you may want to go over the car’s rental agreement.

Pick up an awesome deal with Expedia. Simply choose your ride, select your dates and pickup and drop-off points, and browse offers from all the popular rental providers. Save even more when you combine your Santa Cruz car rental with hotel or flight bookings.
What do you need to rent a car in Santa Cruz?
Two things — your driver’s license and a credit card in your name. Many car rental companies will offer you insurance, which is optional. But you may be asked to provide proof of other coverage if you opt out. Be sure to check your policy requirements to avoid any hassles.
Can I drive in Santa Cruz with my U.S. Driver's license?
Arrange an International Driving Permit if you plan to drive in Santa Cruz, as your U.S. License alone won’t be enough. You’ll need to have both in order to legally take the wheel here.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Santa Cruz?
You can rent a vehicle for a month or longer in Santa Cruz, so don’t hestitate to extend your stay! Simply enter your trip dates into our long-term car rental deals page and find your perfect ride.
Where can I find a Santa Cruz car rental if I am younger than 25?
Some Santa Cruz companies will rent cars to drivers under 25 years of age, and others won’t. Policies differ from supplier to supplier, so you should do some research. Also, find out if there are any extra costs. Some outlets will have a surcharge for young drivers between 21 and 24. Always look through the terms and conditions so you know what to expect.
