Frequently asked questions

How much is a rental car per day in Santa Cruz?

What happens if I need to cancel my Santa Cruz car reservation?

Read through the rental agreement for any exclusions. Your itinerary will have more details, or you can visit our Customer Service Portal for more info.
What types of cars can I rent in Santa Cruz?
Bustling city streets and tight parking spaces are no bother for an economy car — the most popular hire type in Santa Cruz. Get behind the wheel of one of these and navigate traffic effortlessly. Reliable, affordable and with excellent mileage, these small cars pack plenty of punch. But Santa Cruz can be explored in almost any type of hire you like. Compact, full-size and premium vehicles are some other options to choose from.
How do I find the best car hire deals in Santa Cruz with Expedia?
Whatever type of ride you're after, Expedia will help you find the best deal. Compare the offers from leading hire suppliers and book the option that works for you. Love to drive away with even bigger savings? Combine your Santa Cruz car hire with hotel or flight bookings.
How old do you have to be to hire a car in Santa Cruz?
Generally, the requirement is 18 years of age and over in Santa Cruz. You should be aware that most companies have a young driver surcharge. Check before you book, as rules may differ between hire car suppliers. Bear in mind that if you want to hire a luxury ride or a larger car like an SUV, rules may require drivers to be older than 18.
What do you need to hire a car in Santa Cruz?
While booking conditions may differ between rental car outlets in Santa Cruz, the two things you'll need are a valid driver's license and a credit card in your name. You don't need to take out the company's auto insurance. However, proof of alternative coverage may be required.
What is the cheapest car hire in Santa Cruz?
With car hire prices starting from just £27 and £28 a day in Santa Cruz within the past seven days, you'll be speeding off with your own amazing deal in no time. 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.

Where can I find a Santa Cruz hire car if I am younger than 25?
