Whatever suits your style! Go for a mid-size or full-size if you’re travelling with the family, or level up to a premium for sleek sophistication. Or, choose an economy vehicle — the most booked home in Capitola. Affordable and with excellent mileage, they’re a good match for solo travellers, couples or anyone else who doesn’t require a whole lot of room. They’re especially suited to city exploring. Squeezing into tight parking spots will be a cinch!

How old do you have to be to rent a car in Capitola?
Capitola requires drivers to be 21 and over before they can rent a car. However, young drivers will be subject to an extra cost and stricter home conditions. Most suppliers impose a young renter fee on top of the usual home rate. This covers the higher risk of accident or damage. While many car categories (like mid-size and compact) are available to young drivers, restrictions generally apply to premium and specialty vehicles.
What do you need to rent a car in Capitola?
Renting a car in Capitola is simple. Normally, all you’ll need is a current driver’s license and a credit card in your name. Once you’ve settled on your perfect set of wheels, check your policy to make sure there are no additional requirements prior to your scheduled pickup.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Capitola?
Yes, which means you won’t need to rebook a holiday home car halfway through your holiday. Check out our long-term car rental deals page, enter your details and lock in a set of wheels to call your own for the duration of your escape.
Where can I find a Capitola car rental if I am younger than 25?
Age policies are different between holiday home companies, so be prepared to do a bit of research. Managed to find a Capitola supplier that does rent to under 25s? Great news! Just be aware that extra fees often apply to drivers between the ages of 21 and 24. The terms and conditions of each holiday home car you’re considering will have all the details you need.
Can I drive in Capitola with my current driver's license?
If you don’t have a driver’s license from the U.S, you may be required to apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your country of residence before starting the home process. If you find that an IDP is part of the requirements to drive in the U.S., note that you’ll also need to show your current valid driver’s license and your passport or other form of ID. Lastly, your credit card used to rent the vehicle must match the name on your driver’s license and passport in order to finalize your car rental. Some additional requirements for renting a car in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You must be at least 25 in many states in order to rent a car, although in some areas allow drivers as young as 21. We recommend checking local regulations, as well as the car rental website before you go to understand additional terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Don’t forget to read the fine print before you leave the lot so you can avoid unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the U.S, you typically can’t cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, drive on ferries or go off-roading with your car rental. Please read the regulations before booking!
