How old do you have to be to rent a car in Santa Ana?
In Santa Ana, the requirement is 21 years of age and over. Most companies will charge additional fees for young drivers, which can differ based on the rental location. Rental agreements for young drivers may restrict certain vehicles, such as premium SUVs, and require comprehensive insurance to be taken out. Remember to read the fine print before choosing your wheels.
What do you need to rent a car in Santa Ana?
Before you can get behind the wheel in Santa Ana, you'll need a valid driver's licence and a credit card that matches the name on your licence.

Rules can vary, so read the policy terms and conditions before you select a rental supplier.

Age policies are different between rental companies, so be prepared to do a bit of research. Managed to find a Santa Ana outlet that does rent to drivers under 25 years of age? Terrific news! Just take note that an extra charge often applies to drivers between the ages of 21 and 24. The terms and conditions of each rental car you're interested in should have all the information you need.
