How old do you have to be to rent a car in Santa Cruz?
The youngest age you can rent a car in Santa Cruz is 21. A surcharge for young drivers usually applies, so check before you book and budget for any extra costs. There could also be restrictions on the types of vehicles that can be rented by young drivers. For example, some companies will only rent out economy, compact and medium-sized cars to less-experienced motorists. Requirements may differ between companies, so read the fine print carefully.
What do you need to rent a car in Santa Cruz?
You'll need to present your driver's license and a credit card in your name at the rental counter. Prior to the pickup date, check with your chosen rental company whether anything else is needed. For example, you may also need to provide proof of auto insurance.
What side of the road do you drive on in Santa Cruz?
If you don't have a lot of experience driving abroad, you may be glad to know that you'll be sticking to the right in Santa Cruz. Conditions and rules will be different though, so drive accordingly.

Where can I find a Santa Cruz car rental if I am younger than 25?
You'll need to investigate the age policy of the Santa Cruz rental providers you're considering. If you're under 25 years of age, be aware that some will charge additional costs. It's best to know about this ahead of time so you can budget accordingly. Every rental car company has its own terms and conditions for younger drivers, so it's smart to do your research.
What insurance should I choose for my car rental in Santa Cruz?
For a stress-free journey, add Expedia's collision protection to your rental car booking. This insurance covers your ride against theft, vandalism and collision damage. It also offers 24/7 emergency assistance in times of need. Opt in to this insurance while finalizing your Santa Cruz ride with Expedia and save time and money at the rental desk.
Can I drive in Santa Cruz with my current driver's license?
If you don't possess a driver's license issued in Brazil, then you may need to get an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your place of residence in order to rent a car. Please also consider that if you do need an IDP, it has no validity on its own. You'll be asked to show your current license your passport and other forms of identification as well. Lastly, make sure the credit card used to book the rental vehicle matches the name on your license and passport. Some other things to note for international car rentals are:

  • Age restrictions: You'll need to be at least 25 in many countries to rent a car. If you're younger, it might still be possible to rent a car but you'll have to pay a Young Driver's Surcharge. Additional restrictions may also apply to the types of vehicles you can rent.
  • Driving limitations: Make sure you read the rules and regulations before you drive away. With rental cars, you usually can't cross country borders, drive on ferries or go off-roading with a rental vehicle.
