Whatever meets your needs! Go for an intermediate or full-size if you’re with the family, or scale up to a premium if you’re chasing sophistication. Or, choose an economy vehicle — the most booked home in Santee. Affordable and with terrific mileage, they’re ideal for singles, couples or anyone else who doesn’t need a whole lot of room. They’re particularly suited to city exploring. Zipping into tight parking spots will be a walk in the park!

  • Anaheim is around 145 kilometres from Santee. Notable tourist attractions like Disneyland® Resort deserve to be high on your list while you’re in town.
  • Your next stop? Los Angeles, which is around 177 kilometres away. Universal Studios Hollywood is one local highlight you shouldn’t miss.

How old do you have to be to rent a car in Santee?
In Santee, the requirement is generally 21 years of age and over. Most outlets will charge extra fees for young drivers, which can vary based on the home location. Home agreements for young drivers may include restrictions for certain vehicles, such as large cars, and require comprehensive insurance to be taken out. Be sure to read the fine print before booking your wheels.
What do you need to rent a car in Santee?
Be prepared to present your driver’s license and a credit card in your name at the home counter. Prior to pickup, check with your selected home company whether other documentation is needed. For example, you may also need to provide proof of auto insurance.
What is the cheapest car rental in Santee?
The two cheapest daily prices on offer in Santee within the past seven days were AU$135 and AU$152. Now that’s what we’d call a great deal! These rates were available on Expedia, with a holiday home 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 Santee?
Yes, so you won’t have to rebook a holiday home vehicle in the middle of your holiday. Head to our long-term car rental deals page, enter your details and lock in a ride to call your own for the next month or so.
Where can I find a Santee car rental if I am younger than 25?
This will depend on the holiday home car companies located in Santee. They often have different age policies. If you’ve found a place that does cater to drivers under 25 years of age, bear in mind that extra costs may apply. Conduct some research into any extra charges before picking up your vehicle.
Can I drive in Santee with my current driver's license?
If you don’t possess a driver’s license from the United States, then you may need to get an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country before starting the home process. If you find that an IDP is part of the requirements to drive in the U.S, be aware that you’ll also have to show your current valid driver’s license and your passport or other forms of ID. Lastly, the credit card used to rent the car must match the name on your driver’s license and passport in order to confirm your home. Other things you should know about rental cars in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You must be at least 25 in many states in order to rent a car, although in some areas allow drivers as young as 21. We recommend checking state and local regulations, as well as with the company you’re renting from before you book to understand additional terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Be sure to read the fine print before you leave the lot so you can avoid unnecessary fees. 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 a rental car. We recommend reading all the rules and regulations before you book!
