When you cancel at least six hours before pickup, the majority of bookings qualify for a complete refund.

Look over your itinerary for the specifics or click through to our Customer Service Portal for more information.

It's easy to find an incredible deal with Expedia. Just choose your preferred ride, select your dates and pickup and drop-off points, and compare offers from leading rental providers. Save even more when you bundle your Santa Ana car rental with hotel or flight bookings.
How old do you have to be to rent a car in Santa Ana?
The minimum age to rent a car in Santa Ana is 21. A young driver surcharge typically applies, so check before you book and budget for any extra costs. There could also be restrictions on the car categories available to young drivers. For example, some providers will only rent out economy to medium-sized cars to less-experienced motorists. Rules may vary between companies, so read the fine print.
What do you need to rent a car in Santa Ana?
While rules may differ between car rental outlets in Santa Ana, the two main things you'll need are a current driver's license and a credit card. You don't need to take out auto insurance with your rental provider. However, proof of your own coverage may be necessary.
What is the cheapest car rental in Santa Ana?
We looked into prices over the last seven days and found that the cheapest daily rate was $2. The second lowest price to rent a ride in Santa Ana was $8 a day. 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 Ana?

Where can I find a Santa Ana car rental if I am younger than 25?
You'll need to check the age policy of the Santa Ana rental suppliers you're interested in. If you're under the age of 25, some companies will charge extra costs. It's better to know this before collecting the vehicle so you can plan your budget accordingly. Every rental car company has its own terms and conditions for young drivers, so it's smart to do your research.
What insurance should I choose for my car rental in Santa Ana?
A comprehensive insurance plan is a fantastic choice for your upcoming Santa Ana trip. That's why we suggest adding 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 might be included in your rental cost or your personal auto insurance, so check what you're covered for and if you need it.
Can I drive in Santa Ana with my current driver's license?
If you don't possess a driver's license issued in Costa Rica, then you might need to get an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your place of residence in order to rent a car. It's also important to note that if an IDP is required, it won't be valid on its own. You'll be asked to show your driver's license from your home country your passport and other forms of identification as well. Lastly, make sure the credit card you used to book the rental matches the name on your driver's license and passport. Some added requirements to rent a car internationally are:

  • Age restrictions: You'll need to be at least 25 in most places 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 vehicles available to rent.
  • Driving limitations: Be sure to read the rules and regulations before you drive off the lot. With rental cars, you usually can't cross country borders, drive onto ferries or off road with your rental car.
