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?
We’ve all been faced with times when plans change. That’s why we provide a full refund on most prepaid homes if you advise us a minimum of six hours ahead of collecting the car. Don’t forget to double-check the cancellation policy — there are some instances where it’s not an option. Found nothing there? Our Customer Service Portal has more useful information.
What types of cars can I rent in Santa Cruz?
Full-size, mid-size or compact … Hop behind the wheel of whatever you prefer! Economy is the most popular rental car category in Santa Cruz. Small, with superb fuel-efficiency and a breeze to park, these wheels make exploring bustling city streets enjoyable. Maybe best of all? Your wallet will love them. That means you’ll have more money to spend on other things, like discovering as much of this exciting destination as possible.
Where can I go on a road trip from Santa Cruz?
With your own vehicle, road-tripping around the surrounding areas is a cinch. Santa Cruz is a great place to start, but there’s plenty more to keep you busy in the region. Grab the keys to a home, fling your bags in the trunk and check out these other amazing spots:

  • You’ll feel the vibrant spirit of a city bustling with life the moment you pull into Baguio. Some 80 kilometres from Santa Cruz, it has loads of fantastic places to discover, such as Burnham Park.
  • Dagupan, around 113 kilometres away, will also show you a memorable time. Wondering what there is to see? Dagupan City Plaza is our first pick.
  • After all that time behind the wheel, treat yourself to some time in nature at Manila Bay. It’s roughly 290 kilometres from Santa Cruz.

How old do you have to be to rent a car in Santa Cruz?
In Santa Cruz, the requirement is usually 21 years of age and over. Most outlets will charge extra fees for young drivers, which can differ based on the home location. Home policies for young drivers may restrict certain vehicles, such as large cars, and require the purchase of comprehensive insurance. It’s always a good idea to read the fine print carefully before choosing your wheels.
What do you need to rent a car in Santa Cruz?
You’ll need to present your driver’s license and a credit card when you get to the home counter. Prior to the pickup date, check with your chosen home company whether other documentation is needed. For example, you may also need to show proof of insurance.
What side of the road do you drive on in Santa Cruz?
Just like the U.S, you drive on the right in Philippines. But that doesn’t mean that all road rules are the same. Brush up on the traffic laws before arriving in Santa Cruz.

Where can I find a Santa Cruz car rental if I am younger than 25?
This will depend on the holiday home companies that are found in Santa Cruz. They often have different policies when it comes to minimum ages. If you’ve found an outlet that does cater to drivers under 25 years of age, be aware that extra costs may apply. Do some research into any extra charges before collecting the vehicle.
