Where can I find a Santa Cruz car rental if I am younger than 25?
If you're a younger driver hoping to book a rental in Santa Cruz, we recommend reading the policies of the car rental companies you're interested in. Some may rent to drivers under the age of 25, some may not. Surcharges may apply if you're aged between 21 and 24. To avoid any surprise fees and charges at the rental desk, make sure you know if any extra charges apply to you.
What insurance should I choose for my car rental in Santa Cruz?
A thorough insurance policy is a fantastic choice for your upcoming Santa Cruz vacation. That's why we recommend adding collision protection while booking your rental car with Expedia. This insures your vehicle against theft, vandalism and collision damage. Some destinations may require you to have a minimum level of liability insurance. This might be included in your rental price or your own auto insurance, so check what you're covered for and if you need it.
Can I drive in Santa Cruz with my current driver's license?
If you don't possess a driver's license issued in Philippines, then you'll likely need to acquire an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your place of residence to be allowed to rent a car. You should also be aware that if you do need an IDP, it won't be valid on its own. You'll be asked to show your current license your passport and other forms of identification as well. Lastly, it's important that the credit card used to book the rental vehicle matches the name on your driver's license and passport. Some other requirements for international car rentals are:

  • Age restrictions: You'll need to be at least 25 in most places to rent a car. If you're younger than that, it may 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: Be sure to read the rules and regulations before driving away. Typically, you can't cross country borders, drive on ferries or on off-road areas with a rental vehicle.
