How old do you have to be to rent a car in Santa Cruz?
If you're 21 and above, you can rent a vehicle in Santa Cruz. Take note that most rental companies will charge an additional fee if you're a young driver, which is meant to cover the higher damage or accident risk involved. Also, young motorists are generally restricted from renting larger vehicles and luxury cars. Check the fine print before booking so there are no surprises when you pick up the keys.
What do you need to rent a car in Santa Cruz?
Most rental companies will require two things — a valid driver's license and a credit card in your name. If you'd prefer to opt out of the supplier's insurance plan, proof of other coverage may also be needed. Read your policy thoroughly so you know what to bring when it's time to collect your car.
What side of the road do you drive on in Santa Cruz?

Where can I find a Santa Cruz car rental if I am younger than 25?
Some Santa Cruz providers will rent to drivers under 25, and others won't. Age policies differ between suppliers, so you should do some research. Also, find out if there are any additional costs. Some places will have a surcharge for customers between 21 and 24. Be sure to read through the terms and conditions so you know what to expect.
What insurance should I choose for my car rental in Santa Cruz?
Add collision damage protection while booking your Santa Cruz rental car with Expedia. This covers your ride against vandalism, theft and accident damage throughout your vacation. Offering up to $35,000 in primary coverage and 24/7 emergency help, you can get into the driver's seat knowing you'll be covered if the unexpected happens. You can opt in to this plan during the checkout process.
Can I drive in Santa Cruz with my current driver's license?
If you don't hold a driver's license issued in Brazil, then you may need to get an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country to be allowed to rent a car. Also consider that if an IDP is required, it won't be valid on its own. You'll need to show your current driver's license your passport and other forms of ID as well. Lastly, make sure the credit card used to book the rental vehicle 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 at least 25 in many 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 the types of vehicles available to rent.
  • Driving limitations: Make sure you read the fine print before driving away. Typically, you can't cross country borders, drive onto ferries or on off-road areas with a rental vehicle.
