Can I drive in Santa Cruz with my U.S. Driver's license?
Yes. If you have a current U.S. License, you’re permitted to drive in Santa Cruz. You’re not likely to need an International Driving Permit. That said, they are quite easy to pick up, so it might be worth your while to get one anyway.

Where can I find a Santa Cruz car rental if I am younger than 25?
Whether you can rent a car if you are under 25 in Santa Cruz often depends on the rental provider you select. Some businesses apply a surcharge for customers aged between 21 and 24 years, yet others may not have any extra fees for this age group. It’d be wise to go through the terms and conditions of your selected rental company to escape any surprise charges when collecting your car.
