Frequently asked questions

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 types of cars can I rent in Santa Cruz?
Bustling city streets and tight parking spots are no sweat for an economy car — the most commonly booked type of rental in Santa Cruz. Hop behind the wheel of one of these and drive around traffic like a dream. Reliable, affordable and good on gas, these small rides pack plenty of punch. But Santa Cruz can be explored in almost any sort of rental you like. Compacts, SUVs and full-size vehicles are some other options to choose from.

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.
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 holiday. 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. It's useful to know this in advance so you can plan your budget accordingly. Every rental car company has its own rules for younger drivers, so it pays to do your research.
