What happens if I need to cancel my Santa Cruz car reservation?
When you cancel at least six hours before collecting the car, most reservations qualify for a full refund. However, not every one is eligible for this, so it's important to read the rental policy. Look over your booking for the details or head to our Customer Service Portal for more information.

What do you need to rent a car in Santa Cruz?
Renting a car in Santa Cruz is a cinch. Generally, all you'll need is your driver's licence and a credit card in the same name. After selecting your perfect set of wheels, read the terms and conditions to make sure there are no further requirements before pickup.
What is the cheapest car rental in Santa Cruz?
CA $99 and CA $104 were the lowest daily rates picked up by rental car customers in Santa Cruz within the past seven days. These rates were available on Expedia, with a rental starting date within the next year. Prices and availability are subject to change and additional terms apply.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Santa Cruz?
Yes, which means you won't need to rebook a rental car halfway through your vacation. Head to our long-term car rental deals page, enter your details and find a ride to call your own for the duration of your getaway.
Where can I find a Santa Cruz car rental if I am younger than 25?
You'll need to check the age policy of the Santa Cruz rental providers you're considering. If you're under 25 years old, some companies will charge extra fees.
