Frequently asked questions

How much is a rental car per day in Santa Clara?
The lowest daily rate for a rental car in Santa Clara within the past seven days was CA $37. In the comfort of your own ride, you can make your way to whichever local sights are calling your name.
What happens if I need to cancel my Santa Clara car reservation?
We appreciate that plans can change unexpectedly. That's why many reservations allow for a full refund if you cancel at least six hours before picking up the car. Your cancellation policy should include all the specifics you need. If you can't locate the answer there, our Customer Service Portal is available 24/7.
What types of cars can I rent in Santa Clara?
Bustling city streets and cramped parking spots are no hassle for an economy car — the most commonly booked rental type in Santa Clara. Grab the wheel of one of these and navigate traffic effortlessly. Affordable, reliable and with excellent mileage, these small rides pack plenty of punch. But Santa Clara can be explored in almost any sort of rental you like. Compact, mid-size and full-size vehicles are some other options to choose from.
Where can I go on a road trip from Santa Clara?
Santa Clara is full of adventures, but don't restrict yourself to one place. Grab a set of wheels and take to the road to see what else awaits in the wider region. Here are some places to consider:

  • Make tracks to Santa Cruz for an excellent sightseeing experience. Around 72 kilometres from Santa Clara, it's home to many great sights like Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk.
  • Approximately 64 kilometres away, Fairfield is also a favourite with travellers. Make sure you experience Jelly Belly Factory while you're here. It's one of the reasons people love staying a while in this city.
  • Head to Glacier Point to discover some local nature. Take a picnic to enjoy or just relax and unwind. From Santa Clara, it's around 225 kilometres away.

Why should I rent a Santa Clara car with Expedia?

And with our competitive offers and discounts, you can count on getting a good deal on your set of wheels. Did you know you can combine your bookings into a package?

How do I find the best car rental deals in Santa Clara with Expedia?
Expedia makes it quick and easy to compare prices, offers and rental providers, and to check customer reviews. Bundle your Santa Clara car rental with flight or hotel bookings to save even more.
How old do you have to be to rent a car in Santa Clara?
Drivers need to be at least 21. But there are some age-related requirements to be aware of before you book your wheels in Santa Clara. If you're a young driver, most rental providers will charge an additional daily fee and limit the types of cars you can rent. The surcharge, and which age range it applies to, varies between providers. It's a good idea to compare the rules.
What do you need to rent a car in Santa Clara?
Any rental company you choose will require two things — a current driver's licence and a credit card in your name. If you want to opt out of the provider's insurance plan, proof of your own coverage will also likely be needed. Read your policy thoroughly so you know what to bring when it's time to collect your wheels.
What is the cheapest car rental in Santa Clara?
CA $37 and CA $39 were the two lowest daily rates picked up by car rental customers in Santa Clara 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 Clara?
Whether you're planning to hang around Santa Clara or discover what's beyond, it's easy to book a long-term rental with Expedia. Enter your trip details and pick-up/drop-off locations and we'll find you excellent long-term car rental deals.
Where can I find a Santa Clara car rental if I am younger than 25?
Age policies are different between rental companies, so be prepared to do a little homework. Found a Santa Clara supplier that does rent to under 25s? Awesome! 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 will have all the information you need.
