10 tips to save on your car rental in and around Santa Rosa

  1. Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by vehicle type and specific features. Whether you're looking for an SUV for extra space, a convertible for summer drives, or an economical car for budget-friendly travel, utilize the filters on Expedia to discover the ideal match for your journey.
  2. Book in advance to help lower costs: Rental prices can vary based on demand, so it’s wise to reserve your car well ahead of your trip. Booking in advance typically secures lower rates and better availability, particularly during peak seasons.
  3. Consider a smaller car for savings: Smaller vehicles are generally less expensive to rent and easier to maneuver in crowded areas. Mid-size rentals offer a solid balance of cost, comfort, and fuel efficiency.
  4. Age guidelines: Drivers under 30 may encounter higher deposits or daily fees, and some vehicle types—such as SUVs or premium models—might not be available. This can also apply to renters over 70 years old. Always verify the age requirements before making a reservation.
  5. Check fuel policies: Some rentals operate on a full-to-full fuel policy, which means you need to return the car with a full tank to avoid additional charges. This is typically the most favorable option. Others may provide full-to-empty or prepaid fueling options, which are acceptable too. Just remember to return the car empty in that scenario.
  6. Save on city and airport pickups: Picking up your rental car at airports often incurs a surcharge, but the added convenience may make it worthwhile.
  7. Know your payment options: Most car rental companies only accept credit cards for payment.
  8. Understand your insurance coverage: Car rental insurance can help you avoid unexpected expenses and provides peace of mind in case of unforeseen incidents during your trip. It’s easy to add car rental insurance when booking through Expedia.
  9. Consider unlimited mileage: If you’re planning extensive road trips, seek rentals that offer unlimited mileage to prevent extra charges.
  10. Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver's license is necessary to rent a vehicle.

How old do you have to be to rent a car in Santa Rosa?
In most cases, the rules are 21 years and over in Santa Rosa. It should be pointed out that most companies will charge extra fees for young drivers. Check before you pick your ride, as rules may differ between rental car providers. Keep in mind that if you want to rent a specialty vehicle or a large car like an SUV, you may need to be older than 21.
What do you need to rent a car in Santa Rosa?
Most rental companies will need these two things — your driver's license and credit card. If you'd prefer to opt out of the supplier's insurance plan, proof of other coverage may also be needed. Check your policy so you know what to bring when it's time to pick up your ride.

Where can I find a Santa Rosa car rental if I am younger than 25?
Age policies are different between rental companies, so you'll have to do a bit of shopping around. Managed to find a Santa Rosa outlet that does rent to under 25s? Terrific news! Just take note that some companies charge additional fees to drivers between the ages of 21 and 24. The fine print of each rental car you're looking at should have all the details you need.
What insurance should I choose for my car rental in Santa Rosa?
A thorough insurance plan is a wise idea for your Santa Rosa escape. That's why we recommend adding collision protection while organizing your car rental with Expedia. This covers your vehicle from theft, vandalism and accident damage. Some destinations may require you to have a minimum level of liability insurance. This may already be included in your rental cost or your own auto insurance, so check what you're covered for and if you need it.
Can I drive in Santa Rosa with my current driver's license?
If you don't possess a driver's license issued in Brazil, then you might need to apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country to be allowed to rent a car. It's also important to note that if an IDP is required, it has no validity on its own. You'll have to show your driver's license from your home country 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 license and passport. Some other requirements for international car rentals are:
  • Age restrictions: You must be at least 25 in most countries to rent a car. If you're younger than that, 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 what kinds of cars you can rent.
  • Driving limitations: Be sure to read the fine print before getting behind the wheel. You typically can't cross country borders, drive onto ferries or go off-roading with a rental car.
