How old do you have to be to rent a car in Santa Ana?
Anyone with a valid driver's license aged 21 and above can rent a vehicle in Santa Ana. While some companies may be willing to accommodate drivers younger than 21, you can expect additional fees. Find out what age range the young renter fee applies to, and the associated cost, before reserving your ride. Suppliers also restrict the types of cars available to young drivers. Higher age limits apply for specialty and luxury vehicles.
What do you need to rent a car in Santa Ana?
The main things are your driver's license and a credit card in the same name. Most car rental companies will offer you insurance, which is optional. But you may be asked to provide proof of other coverage if you choose to opt out. Make sure you check your policy requirements to avoid any issues.
What is the cheapest car rental in Santa Ana?
We looked into prices over the last seven days and found that daily rates were as low as $27. The next best price to rent a ride in Santa Ana was $28 a day.

Expedia makes it easy to pick up a cheap long-term car rental in Santa Ana. Simply visit our long-term car rental deals page, enter your information and compare your possibilities.
Where can I find a Santa Ana car rental if I am younger than 25?
Some Santa Ana companies will rent to drivers under 25 years old, and others won't. Age policies differ from supplier to supplier, so you'll need to do some research. Also, find out if there are any additional costs. Some outlets will have a surcharge for customers between 21 and 24. Make sure you read through the terms and conditions to avoid any surprise fees.
What insurance should I choose for my car rental in Santa Ana?
A comprehensive insurance plan is a wise choice for your upcoming Santa Ana escape. That's why we suggest purchasing collision protection while organizing your rental car with Expedia. This covers your vehicle from theft, vandalism and accident damage. Some destinations may require a minimum level of liability insurance. This might be included in your rental price or your personal auto insurance, so check what you're covered for.
