What types of cars can I rent in Montecito?
Whatever suits your style! Go for a mid-size or full-size if you're travelling with the family, or scale up to a premium if you're chasing sophistication.

How old do you have to be to rent a car in Montecito?
Drivers have to be at least 21. But there are a handful of age-related requirements to be aware of before reserving your wheels in Montecito. If you're a young driver, most home outlets will charge an additional daily fee and limit the sorts of cars you can rent. The exact surcharge, and which ages it applies to, varies between providers. Be sure to compare the requirements.
What do you need to rent a car in Montecito?
A current driver's license and a credit card in the same name. Opting out of the company's insurance plan? Then there's a good chance you'll also need proof of other coverage. The requirements may differ from home company to home company, so be sure to read through your policy.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Montecito?
Yes. We partner with quality companies that offer long-term holiday homes for many car categories. Reserve one of our long-term car rental deals and discover every corner of Montecito — or far beyond!
Where can I find a Montecito car rental if I am younger than 25?
You'll need to check the age policy of the Montecito home suppliers you're interested in. If you're under 25 years old, some outlets will charge extra fees. It's useful to know 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 do your research.
Can I drive in Montecito with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a driver's license issued in the United States, you might need to apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your country of residence before renting a car in the U.S. If you find that an IDP is required, be aware that you'll also have to show your valid driver's license and your passport or other forms of ID. Lastly, the credit card used to rent the car must match the name on your license and passport in order to finalize your car rental. Other things you should know about rental cars in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You need to be 25 or older in many states to rent a car, although in some areas allow drivers as young as 21. We recommend checking local regulations, as well as with the rental car company before your trip to understand all the regulations that may apply to you.
  • Driving limitations: 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 onto ferries or go off-roading with your rental car. Please read the regulations before booking!
