Frequently asked questions

How much is a rental car per day in Santa Cruz?
Within the past seven days, the lowest daily price for an affordable car rental in Santa Cruz was $5.
What happens if I need to cancel my Santa Cruz car reservation?
We all have times when even our best-laid plans get upended. That's why we give a full refund on most prepaid reservations if you cancel six hours before collecting the car. Remember to double-check the cancellation policy --- sometimes it's not offered. Found nothing there? Our Customer Service Portal is always here to help.
What types of cars can I rent in Santa Cruz?
Mini, intermediate, full-size, premium ... Whatever you prefer! However, compact models are the top pick in Santa Cruz. If you'd like something affordable and small, but not too small, this rental vehicle category is a smart choice. Driving around busy streets will be easy in one of these. Compact cars are a little roomier compared to economy models and are suited to families on a budget, couples or solo travelers.
Why should I rent a Santa Cruz car with Expedia?
There are plenty of reasons to book your rental with Expedia. We have suppliers to select from in Santa Cruz, and we'll help you get the best deal with our member prices and exclusive offers. Chasing bigger savings? Bundle your rental car, hotels and flights into a vacation package. The more you travel and book with Expedia, the more benefits you get!
How do I find the best car rental deals in Santa Cruz with Expedia?
Browse our fantastic range of rental cars, check out customer recommendations and compare offers from top brands. In a few easy clicks, Expedia will help you pick up the best deal on your ride. Got a flight or hotel booking? Add on your Santa Cruz car rental to save even more.
How old do you have to be to rent a car in Santa Cruz?
At least 21. But there are some age-related rules to keep in mind before you reserve your wheels in Santa Cruz. If you're a young motorist, most rental companies will charge an extra daily fee and limit the types of cars you're able to rent. The exact surcharge, and which age range it applies to, differs between suppliers. Take a moment to compare the requirements.
What do you need to rent a car in Santa Cruz?
Two things --- a valid driver's license and a credit card in the same name. Car rental companies will offer you insurance, which is optional. But you may have to provide proof of other coverage if you choose to opt out. Check with your rental provider to avoid any hassles.
What side of the road do you drive on in Santa Cruz?
Just like the U.S, you drive on the right in Mexico. But that doesn't mean other rules are the same. Familiarize yourself with the local traffic laws before you get behind the wheel in Santa Cruz.
What is the cheapest car rental in Santa Cruz?
According to prices found within the past seven days, the lowest daily rate for a cheap car rental in Santa Cruz was $5. The next lowest was $9 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 Cruz?
Yes, so there's no need to rebook a rental vehicle mid-vacation. Head over to our long-term car rental deals page, enter your information and secure a set of wheels to call your own for the length of your break.
Where can I find a Santa Cruz car rental if I am younger than 25?
You'll need to look into the age policy of the Santa Cruz rental providers you're interested in. If you're under 25 years old, be aware that some will charge extra fees. It's better to know about this before arriving at the desk so you can have the funds ready. Each rental car company has its own policies for young drivers, so it's smart to do your research.
What insurance should I choose for my car rental in Santa Cruz?
For a secure, stress-free adventure, add Expedia's collision damage protection while reserving your rental car. This insurance covers your ride against accident damage, vandalism and theft. It also offers customers round-the-clock emergency assistance in times of need. Opt in to this plan while finalizing your Santa Cruz vehicle with Expedia and save money and time at the rental desk.
