What do you need to rent a car in Santa Cruz?
Renting a car in Santa Cruz is easy as pie. Usually, all that’s required is a current driver’s license and a credit card. After you’ve found your perfect set of wheels, read your policy to make sure there are no extra requirements prior to your scheduled pickup.
Can I drive in Santa Cruz with my U.S. Driver's license?
Yes, your valid U.S. License is all you need to legally drive in Santa Cruz. But if you’re the sort of holiday maker who prefers to dot your i’s and cross your t’s, organize an International Driving Permit. It’s relatively simple to arrange.

Where can I find a Santa Cruz car rental if I am younger than 25?
Age policies differ between rental companies, so be prepared to do a little homework. Managed to find a Santa Cruz supplier that does rent to drivers under 25? Great!
