Frequently asked questions

What happens if I need to cancel my Isla Vista car reservation?
We know that having a bit of wiggle room is important. That's why most reservations offer a complete refund if cancelled at least six hours before the scheduled collection time. It's still good to read your policy though as there are some exemptions. If you can't find the answer there, head over to our Customer Service Portal.
What types of cars can I rent in Isla Vista?
Whatever suits your style! Go for a mid-size or full-size if you're with the family, or level up to a premium for sleek sophistication. Or, choose an economy vehicle — the most popular hire in Isla Vista. Affordable and with awesome mileage, they're a good match for singles, couples or anyone else who doesn't require a large amount of room. They're particularly suited to city exploring. Squeezing into cramped parking spots will be a piece of cake!
How do I find the best car hire deals in Isla Vista with Expedia?
Check out ratings and reviews, choose your preferred ride and compare offers from the most popular providers. Expedia makes it easy to find the best deal on your rental wheels. Bundle your Isla Vista car hire with hotel or flight bookings and hit the road with even more in your wallet.
How old do you have to be to rent a car in Isla Vista?
You'll need to be 21 and over to grab the keys to a hire vehicle in Isla Vista. Be aware that young drivers may be restricted to renting from a few car classes, such as compact and medium size. Higher age limits generally apply for specialty and premium vehicles. Many companies will also charge a fee for young renters. Check the rules before clicking the book button and factor any surcharge into your budget.
What do you need to rent a car in Isla Vista?
The essentials are a valid driver's license and a credit card in the same name. Many car hire companies will offer you insurance, which is optional. But you may have to provide proof of alternative coverage if you choose to opt out. Check with your rental agency to avoid any problems.
Can I hire a car for a month or longer in Isla Vista?
Visit our long-term car rental deals page, enter your trip information and then reserve a ride that suits. Whether you're basing yourself in Isla Vista or road-tripping about, Expedia will help you find a long-term hire at an excellent rate.
Where can I find an Isla Vista hire car if I am younger than 25?
Some Isla Vista companies will hire cars to drivers under 25, and others won't. Policies differ from supplier to supplier, so you'll have to do your homework. Also, find out if there are additional costs. Some businesses will pass on a surcharge to young drivers between the ages of 21 and 24. Always look through the terms and conditions to avoid any nasty surprises.
