Frequently asked questions

What happens if I need to cancel my Isla Vista car reservation?
Canceling a booking with six hours notice should allow for your money back. But this is not always the case. It's worth checking your booking details and cancellation policy. Still need help? Head over to our Customer Service Portal.
What types of cars can I rent in Isla Vista?
Many visitors choose economy cars in Isla Vista. Motorists love them because of their affordability. Plus, their small size makes them ideal for navigating cities, where streets are crowded and parking can be a challenge. But your options don't stop there. SUVs, full-size cars and compacts are up for grabs too. Whether you're sticking around Isla Vista or venturing beyond, we'll have a set of wheels that suits your style.
Why should I rent an Isla Vista car with Expedia?
Expedia is the ideal place to book your ride. With suppliers in Isla Vista to select from, we work hard to get you amazing deals. Save with our exclusive offers and member prices, and earn rewards each time you book. Save more when you combine your bookings into an Isla Vista vacation package. Car rentals, hotels, vacation rentals, activities, flights — Expedia has everything you need in one convenient place.
How do I find the best car rental deals in Isla Vista with Expedia?
Check customer ratings, choose your preferred car type and compare prices from leading suppliers. Expedia makes it a cinch to nab the best deal on your rental wheels. Combine your Isla Vista car rental with hotel or flight bookings and cruise off with even more in your wallet.
How old do you have to be to rent a car in Isla Vista?
Drivers 21 and above can hit the highway in Isla Vista in a rental vehicle. If you're a young driver, a daily surcharge will apply. You'll usually be limited to a few car categories, such as economy and mid-size, and may also have to purchase inclusive insurance. Always enter the correct age of the main driver when booking to find out if any restrictions apply.
What do you need to rent a car in Isla Vista?
You'll need to present your driver's license and a credit card in your name when you get to the rental counter. Prior to pickup, check with your selected company whether anything else is needed. For example, you may also need to provide proof of insurance.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Isla Vista?
You can. We partner with trusted suppliers that offer long-term rentals for many car classes. Snap up one of our long-term car rental deals and explore every turn of Isla Vista — or way beyond!
Where can I find an Isla Vista car rental if I am younger than 25?
Age policies are different between rental companies, so be prepared to do a little research. Managed to find an Isla Vista supplier that does rent to drivers under the age of 25? Great news! Just take note that some companies charge additional fees to drivers between 21 and 24. The terms and conditions of each rental car you're considering should have all the details you need.
What insurance should I choose for my car rental in Isla Vista?
Get your road trip off to a good start by choosing Expedia's collision damage protection. While there are many types of insurance, this is one you should have. It provides primary coverage for accident damage, theft and vandalism up to $35,000, as well as round-the-clock emergency support. Don't wait until you arrive at the rental desk to insure your precious wheels. Opt in to collision protection while booking your Isla Vista ride with Expedia and save time and money.
