Rental car rules in Santa Cruz require drivers to be 18 and over. Are you a younger driver? A few surcharges and restrictions may apply. Home providers impose what’s known as a young renter surcharge, which is an extra fee to the car rental cost. Restrictions usually apply to the categories of cars young people can rent as well. Age limits may differ between providers, so check before you book.

Most of the time, all you’ll need is a current driver’s license and credit card in your name when collecting your vehicle. Proof of coverage may also be required if you’d like to opt out of the company’s insurance plan. These requirements often differ between home companies, so it’s wise to check while booking.
