What happens if I need to cancel my Santa Cruz car reservation?
We all have times when plans suddenly change. That's why we give your money back on the majority of rentals if you cancel six hours prior to the pickup time.

Where can I find a Santa Cruz car rental if I am younger than 25?
This will depend on the rental car companies located in Santa Cruz. They often have different age policies. If you've found a place that does cater to drivers under 25 years of age, take note that extra fees may apply. Conduct some research into any extra charges before picking up your vehicle.
