Frequently asked questions

What happens if I need to cancel my Santa Cruz car reservation?
If you need to move your plans around, nearly all bookings qualify for a complete refund. Just advise us a minimum of six hours in advance of the pickup time. Double-check the rental policy for any exceptions. Your itinerary will have more details, or simply click through to our Customer Service Portal for more info.
How do I find the best car rental deals in Santa Cruz with Expedia?
Expedia makes it easy to compare fees, offers and rental providers, and to check customer recommendations. Combine your Santa Cruz car rental with flight or hotel bookings and you can make even bigger savings.
What do you need to rent a car in Santa Cruz?
While terms and conditions may differ between car rental outlets in Santa Cruz, the two main 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 insurance plan. However, proof of alternative coverage may be required.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Santa Cruz?
Yes. Expedia partners with trusted suppliers that offer weekly and monthly rentals for all types of cars. Reserve one of our long-term car rental deals and discover every nook and cranny of Santa Cruz — or beyond!
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 considering. If you're under 25, some companies will charge extra costs. It's ideal to know this in advance so you can have the funds ready. Every rental car company has its own terms and conditions for young drivers, so it'd be wise to do your research.
