What do you need to rent a car in Santa Barbara Beach?
While requirements can differ between car rental outlets, the two key things you’ll need are a valid driver’s license and a credit card in your name. You don’t need to take out auto insurance with your home provider. However, proof of your own coverage may be required.

Where can I find a Santa Barbara Beach car rental if I am younger than 25?
If you’re a young driver hoping to rent a vehicle in Santa Barbara Beach, check the terms and conditions of the car rental companies you’re interested in. Some may rent to drivers under the age of 25 some may not. There may be extra fees if you’re between 21 and 24 years old. To avoid any unpleasant surprises at the holiday home desk, make sure you know exactly what to expect.
Can I drive in Santa Barbara Beach with my current driver's license?
If you don’t possess a driver’s license from the United States, you may be required to organise 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 current driver’s license and your passport or other forms of identification. Lastly, your 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’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. We recommend checking local rules and regulations, as well as with the company you’re renting from before you book to understand all the regulations that may apply to you.
  • Driving limitations: Be sure to read the fine print before you get behind the wheel so you can avoid any unnecessary charges. When renting a car in the United States, it’s usually prohibited to cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, drive on ferries or traverse certain types of rugged terrain with your car rental. We recommend reading all the rules and regulations before booking!
