Frequently asked questions

What happens if I need to cancel my Santa Cruz car reservation?
Our Customer Service Portal has information about this. In most cases, total refunds are available if a prepaid booking is canceled at least six hours prior to collecting the car. It’s a good idea to read your policy to see if there are any exceptions.

What do you need to rent a car in Santa Cruz?
Any rental company you select will ask for these two things — a valid driver’s license and credit card. If you’d prefer to opt out of the provider’s insurance plan, proof of other coverage will also likely be needed. Read your policy thoroughly so you know what to bring when it’s time to pick up the keys.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Santa Cruz?
Expedia makes it a breeze to book a quality long-term rental in Santa Cruz. Simply click through to our long-term car rental deals page, enter your details and compare your choices.
Where can I find a Santa Cruz car rental if I am younger than 25?
You’ll need to look into the age policy of the Santa Cruz rental suppliers you’re interested in. If you’re under 25, be aware that some will charge additional fees. It’s better to know this before arriving at the desk so you can plan your budget accordingly. Every rental car company has its own rules for young drivers, so be sure to do your research.
