Can I rent a car from Mexico City Intl. Airport (MEX)?

What happens if I need to cancel my Santa Cruz car reservation?

Check your booking for the specifics or visit our Customer Service Portal to find out more.
What types of cars can I rent in Santa Cruz?
Get behind the wheel of a full-size car and discover why it’s the preferred choice in Santa Cruz. With seating for up to five people and generous storage space, you’ll appreciate all that room while cruising around. These vehicles also often have nice touches like premium audio systems and leather seats. But your choice doesn’t end there. We’ve also got economy hatchbacks, mid-size sedans, premium SUVs and more.
Why should I rent a Santa Cruz car with Expedia?
With loads of experience finding the best deals for explorers everywhere, Expedia is a great place to rent your vehicle.

How do I find the best car rental deals in Santa Cruz with Expedia?
Check customer reviews, choose your preferred car type and compare offers from the most popular providers. Expedia makes it easy to nab the best deal on your rental wheels. Combine your Santa Cruz car rental with flight or hotel bookings and drive off with extra savings.
How old do you have to be to rent a car in Santa Cruz?
Santa Cruz requires drivers to be at least 21 before they can rent a vehicle. However, young drivers will be subject to an extra cost and stricter rental conditions. Most providers impose a daily young renter fee on top of the standard rental rate. This helps cover the extra risk of damage or accident. While many car classes (like mid-size and compact) are available to young drivers, restrictions usually apply to specialty cars.
What do you need to rent a car in Santa Cruz?
In most cases, all you’ll need is a driver’s license and credit card in your name when collecting the car. You may also need proof of coverage if you’d like to opt out of the company’s insurance plan. Rules often differ between rental companies, so remember to read the fine print.
What side of the road do you drive on in Santa Cruz?
Like the States, you’ll need to drive on the right in Mexico. However, that doesn’t mean all road rules are the same. Familiarize yourself with the traffic regulations before motoring around Santa Cruz.
What is the cheapest car rental in Santa Cruz?
Based on prices within the past seven days, you could’ve hopped into the driver’s seat of a rental car for just $11 per day. The second lowest daily rate in Santa Cruz was $12. These rates were available on Expedia, with a rental starting date within the next year. Prices and availability are subject to change and additional terms apply.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Santa Cruz?
Visit our long-term car rental deals page, enter your trip information and then reserve a ride that suits. Whether you’re staying in Santa Cruz or road-tripping around, Expedia will help you find a long-term rental at an amazing rate.
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 the age of 25, some will charge additional fees. It’s handy to know this before arriving at the desk so you can tailor your budget accordingly. Every rental car company has its own terms and conditions for younger drivers, so do your research.
What insurance should I choose for my car rental in Santa Cruz?
It’s wise to have collision damage protection to safeguard your Santa Cruz car rental against theft, vandalism and accident damage. And with Expedia, it’s easy to purchase this insurance for your vehicle during the booking process. Covering primary physical damage of up to $35,000, it also offers round-the-clock emergency help and a zero-dollar deductible should you need to make a claim. Have your plans changed? If you cancel your policy before your scheduled collection time, you’ll receive a 100 percent refund.
