Frequently asked questions

How much is a rental car per day in Santa Cruz?
Within the past seven days in Santa Cruz, you could have driven away in a rental car for as little as a day.
What happens if I need to cancel my Santa Cruz car reservation?
Depending on the home policy, you may be eligible for a refund. Many reservations offer a full refund if cancelled at least six hours ahead of picking up the car. Still have some questions? If you can’t find the answer in your itinerary, our Customer Service Portal is available 24/7.
What types of cars can I rent in Santa Cruz?
Most visitors rent economy cars in Santa Cruz. Motorists love them because they’re easy on the budget. Plus, their smaller size makes them well-suited to cruising around cities, where streets are crowded and parking can be challenging. But economy isn’t your only option. SUVs, full-size cars and compacts can be booked too. Whether you’re sticking around Santa Cruz or venturing beyond, we’ll have a set of wheels that suits your style.
Why should I rent a Santa Cruz car with Expedia?

All you have to do is choose your favourite ride, select your dates and preferred pickup and drop-off points, and compare offers from all the leading home brands.

What do you need to rent a car in Santa Cruz?
A current driver’s license and a credit card in the same name are two essentials. Don’t want to take out the company’s insurance plan? In that case, you may also require proof of other coverage. The requirements may differ between home companies, so have a thorough read of your policy.
What side of the road do you drive on in Santa Cruz?
In Santa Cruz and around Brazil, motorists drive on the right-hand side of the road. While this is the same as in the States, keep in mind that there’s likely to be different traffic laws.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Santa Cruz?
Yes, and the good news is companies often offer lower rates the longer your holiday home term. Look through our long-term car rental deals in Santa Cruz and hit the road with an amazing bargain.
Where can I find a Santa Cruz car rental if I am younger than 25?
Age policies differ between holiday home suppliers, so you’ll have to do a bit of research. Found a Santa Cruz outlet that does rent to drivers under 25 years of age? That’s great! Just take note that extra fees often apply to drivers between the ages of 21 and 24. The fine print of each holiday home car you’re interested in will have all the information you need.
