How old do you have to be to rent a car in Eastside Santa Cruz?
Rental car rules in Eastside Santa Cruz require drivers to be 21 and older. Are you a young driver? Some restrictions and surcharges may apply. Rental companies impose what's known as a young driver surcharge, which is an extra fee to the car rental cost. Restrictions generally apply to the categories of cars young motorists can rent as well. Age limits may vary between outlets, so check before you book.
What do you need to rent a car in Eastside Santa Cruz?
Most rental companies will ask for these two things — your driver's licence and a credit card in your name. If you choose to opt out of the supplier's insurance plan, proof of your own coverage will also likely be needed. Read your policy thoroughly so you know what to bring when it's time to collect your car.

Where can I find an Eastside Santa Cruz car rental if I am younger than 25?
If you're a younger driver hoping to rent a car in Eastside Santa Cruz, we recommend checking the terms and conditions of the various car rental companies you're interested in. Some may rent to drivers under the age of 25, some may not. There may be extra costs if you're between 21 and 24 years old. To avoid any surprise fees and charges on pickup, make sure you know if any extra charges apply to you.
Can I drive in Eastside Santa Cruz with my current driver's license?
If you don't possess a driver's license issued in the United States, then you might need to apply for 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, know that you'll also have to show your valid driver's license and your passport or other form of ID. Lastly, your credit card used to rent the car must also match the name on your driver's license and passport in order to confirm your home. Additional requirements for car rentals in the U.S. Are:

  • Age restrictions: You need to be 25 or older in many states in order to rent a car, although in some areas, 21 years and older is allowed. We recommend checking local rules and regulations, as well as with the company you're renting from before you book to understand additional terms and conditions.
  • Driving limitations: Don't forget to read the fine print before you get behind the wheel so you can avoid any unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the U.S, you usually can't cross country borders into Mexico or Canada, use car ferries or traverse off-road areas with your home vehicle. Please read the details before booking!
