The main things are a valid driver's license and a credit card in your 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 prefer to opt out. Make sure you check with your rental agency to avoid any hassles.

Where can I find a Santa Cruz car rental if I am younger than 25?
If you're a young driver hoping to rent a car in Santa Cruz, we recommend checking the policies of the various car rental companies you're interested in. Some may rent to drivers under 25, some may not. There may be extra costs if you're aged between 21 and 24. To escape any surprise fees and charges at the rental desk, make sure you know exactly what to expect.
What insurance should I choose for my car rental in Santa Cruz?
A comprehensive insurance plan is a smart choice for your upcoming Santa Cruz getaway. That's why we recommend opting in to collision protection while reserving your car rental with Expedia. This insures your vehicle against theft, accident damage and vandalism. Some destinations may also require a minimum level of liability insurance. This may already be included in your rental price or your personal auto insurance, so check what you're covered for and whether you need it.
