What happens if I need to cancel my Santa Ana car reservation?
Read over your rental agreement to be certain, but nearly all prepaid rentals are eligible for a total refund if you let us know more than six hours prior to picking up the car. There are some exceptions though. Your booking will have more details, or just visit our Customer Service Portal.
Where can I go on a road trip from Santa Ana?
There's lots on offer in Santa Ana, but head further afield and you'll find even more magic. Book a set of wheels and you can roam around the surrounding region at your own pace. Add these awesome places to your itinerary:

  • Riverside is around 56 kilometres from Santa Ana. Popular tourist attractions like Desert Hills Premium Outlets should be at the top of your list while you're in town.

  • Morro Rock is approximately 322 kilometres from Santa Ana and is one of the region's most beautiful nature spots. Stretch your legs and enjoy the fresh air here.

How do I find the best car rental deals in Santa Ana with Expedia?
Expedia makes it simple to compare fees, offers and rental companies, and to check customer ratings. Combine your Santa Ana car rental with hotel or flight bookings to save even more.
How old do you have to be to rent a car in Santa Ana?
In Santa Ana, the requirement is 21 years of age and over. Most companies will charge additional fees for young drivers, which can differ based on the rental location. Rental agreements for young drivers may restrict certain vehicles, such as premium SUVs, and require comprehensive insurance to be taken out. Remember to read the fine print before choosing your wheels.
What do you need to rent a car in Santa Ana?
Before you can get behind the wheel in Santa Ana, you'll need a valid driver's licence and a credit card that matches the name on your licence. If you decline to take out the company's insurance policy, you may also have to provide proof of other coverage. Rules can vary, so read the policy terms and conditions before you select a rental supplier.
What is the cheapest car rental in Santa Ana?
We looked into prices over the last seven days and found that the most affordable daily rate was AU$87. The second lowest price for rental vehicles in Santa Ana was AU$88 a day. 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.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Santa Ana?
Whether you plan to stay in Santa Ana or travel beyond, you can reserve a long-term rental with Expedia. Enter your trip details and pick-up/drop-off locations and we'll find you cheap long-term car rental deals.
Where can I find a Santa Ana car rental if I am younger than 25?
Age policies are different between rental companies, so be prepared to do a bit of research. Managed to find a Santa Ana outlet that does rent to drivers under 25 years of age? Terrific news! Just take note that an extra charge often applies to drivers between the ages of 21 and 24. The terms and conditions of each rental car you're interested in should have all the information you need.
Can I drive in Santa Ana with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a license from the U.S, then you might need to get 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 part of the requirements to drive in the U.S., know that you'll also have to show your current driver's license and your passport or other forms of identification. Lastly, the credit card used to rent the vehicle must match the name on your driver's license and passport in order to confirm your home. Some additional requirements for renting a car in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You'll need to be 25 or older in many states in order to rent a car, although in some places, the minimum age is 21 years. We recommend checking local regulations, and with the car rental company before you book to understand additional terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Be sure to read the fine print before you drive off so you can avoid any unnecessary charges. When renting a car in the United States, you usually can't cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, drive on ferries or go off-roading with a rental car. Please read all the rules and regulations before booking!
