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

  1. Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by selecting vehicle type and features. Whether you’re looking for an SUV for added space, a convertible for summer fun, or an economical car for budget-friendly travel, utilize the filters on Expedia to find the ideal option for your journey.
  2. Book in advance to help lower costs: Rental prices can vary based on demand, so it's advisable to reserve your vehicle well ahead of your trip. By booking early, you’re likely to secure more favorable rates and better availability, especially during peak travel seasons.
  3. Consider a smaller car for savings: Smaller vehicles are typically more affordable to rent and easier to maneuver in crowded areas. Mid-size cars offer a nice compromise between cost, comfort, and fuel efficiency.
  4. Age guidelines: Drivers under 30 may encounter higher deposits or daily surcharges, and certain types of vehicles—such as SUVs or premium models—might not be available. This can also apply to renters over the age of 70. Always verify the age restrictions before making a reservation.
  5. Check fuel policies: Some rental agreements require a full-to-full fuel policy, meaning you must return the vehicle with a full tank to avoid extra fees. This is generally the most cost-effective option. Others may provide full-to-empty or prepaid fueling choices, which are acceptable as well. Just ensure you return the car empty in this scenario.
  6. Save on city and airport pickups: Picking up your rental car at airports often incurs a surcharge, but the convenience may justify the extra cost.
  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 provide peace of mind if something unforeseen occurs during your trip. It's simple to add car rental insurance when booking through Expedia.
  9. Consider unlimited mileage: If you plan to take long road trips, look for rental options that include unlimited mileage to prevent additional charges.
  10. Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver's license is necessary to rent a car.

It's ideal to know about this in advance so you can budget accordingly. Each rental car company has its own rules for young drivers, so do your research.
What insurance should I choose for my car rental in Santa Ana?
A comprehensive insurance plan is a great idea for your upcoming Santa Ana vacation. That's why we suggest adding collision protection while reserving your rental car with Expedia. This covers your vehicle from theft, vandalism and collision 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.
Can I drive in Santa Ana with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a driver's license issued in Guatemala, then it's likely you'll need to get an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your place of residence to be able to rent a car. You should also note that if you do need an IDP, it won't be valid on its own. You'll need to show your driver's license from your home country your passport and other forms of documentation as well. Lastly, make sure the credit card used to book the rental matches the name on your driver's license and passport. Some other things to note to rent a car internationally are:
  • Age restrictions: You need to be 25 or over in many countries to rent a car. If you're younger, 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 cars you can rent.
  • Driving limitations: Make sure you read the fine print before you drive off the lot. You typically can't cross country borders, drive onto ferries or go off-roading with your rental car.
