Frequently asked questions

Can I rent a car from Cristiano Ronaldo Airport (FNC)?
Yes, and you won't be short on choice. After you touch down and collect your bags, head to the rental car center on Level 0 of the main terminal. Here you can choose from reliable companies like Rodavante, Europcar and Guerin (Alamo; Enterprise; National). If you want some more options, check out the deals from Avis/Budget and Sixt.
What happens if I need to cancel my Santa Cruz car reservation?
Our Customer Service Portal has all the info about this. In nearly all situations, total refunds are available if a reservation is canceled a minimum of six hours prior to the collection time. Be sure to read your rental policy to see if there are any exemptions.
Why should I rent a Santa Cruz car with Expedia?
There are plenty of reasons to book your ride with Expedia. We have suppliers to choose from in Santa Cruz, and we'll find you the best deal with our member prices and exclusive offers. Eager to save even more? Combine your rental car, hotels and flights into a vacation package. The more you book and travel with Expedia, the greater the perks!
How do I find the best car rental deals in Santa Cruz with Expedia?
Check customer reviews and ratings, choose your preferred car type and compare prices from leading brands. Expedia makes it a cinch to track down the best deal on your rental wheels. Combine your Santa Cruz car rental with hotel or flight bookings and start your road trip with even more in your wallet.
What do you need to rent a car in Santa Cruz?
Any rental company you select will require two things — a valid driver's license and credit card. If you choose to opt out of the supplier's insurance plan, proof of your own coverage will also likely be needed. Read through your policy so you know what to bring when it's time to pick up your ride.
Can I drive in Santa Cruz with my U.S. Driver's license?
The great news is yes. The streets of Santa Cruz await and your U.S. License is all you need to explore them from behind the wheel. Before you take off, it's a good idea to apply for an International Driving Permit as another useful proof of identity.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Santa Cruz?
Yes, which means you won't need to rebook a rental vehicle halfway through your vacation. Click on our long-term car rental deals page, enter your trip details and book a ride to call your own for the next month or so.
Where can I find a Santa Cruz car rental if I am younger than 25?
If you're a young driver looking to rent a car in Santa Cruz, it'd be wise to check the policies of the various rental companies you're interested in. Some may rent to drivers under the age of 25, some may not. There may be surcharges if you're between 21 and 24 years of age. To avoid any unwanted surprises at the rental desk, make sure you do your research.
