Frequently asked questions

What happens if I need to cancel my Santa Cruz car reservation?
There are always times when even the best-laid plans go wrong. That's why we offer your money back on many bookings if cancelled at least six hours before pickup. Be sure to double-check the rental policy — there are some instances where it's not included. Can't find the details there? Our Customer Service Portal is always available to help.

What do you need to rent a car in Santa Cruz?
A valid driver's licence and a credit card in the same name are two essentials. Don't want to take out the company's insurance plan? If that's the case, you may need proof of your own coverage. Rules can differ between rental suppliers, so be sure to read through your policy.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Santa Cruz?
Visit our long-term car rental deals page, enter your preferences and then lock in your perfect ride. Whether you're stopping in Santa Cruz or discovering beyond, Expedia will help you find a long-term rental at an excellent rate.
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 interested in. If you're under 25 years old, some outlets will charge additional fees. It's better to know about this in advance so you can budget accordingly. Each rental car company has its own policies for young drivers, so be sure to do your research.
