It's handy to know about this before collecting the vehicle so you can plan your budget accordingly. Every rental car company has its own policies for young drivers, so it pays to do your research.
What insurance should I choose for my car rental in Santa Cruz?
A comprehensive insurance policy is a fantastic choice for your upcoming Santa Cruz escape. That's why we recommend purchasing collision protection while organizing your car rental with Expedia. This insures your vehicle against theft, accident damage and vandalism. Some destinations may need you to have 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 whether you need it.
Can I drive in Santa Cruz with my current driver's license?
If you don't possess a driver's license issued in Spain, then you might need to apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country to be able to rent a car. Please also consider that if you do need an IDP, it has no validity on its own. You'll have to show your current license your passport and other forms of identification as well. Lastly, it's important that the credit card used to book the rental matches the name on your license and passport. Some other things to note for international car rentals are:

  • Age restrictions: You need to be 25 or older in most 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 what kinds of cars you can rent.
  • Driving limitations: Be sure to read the rules and regulations before you drive away. With rental cars, you usually can't cross country borders, drive on ferries or off road with a rental vehicle.
