Frequently asked questions

What happens if I need to cancel my Santa Maria car reservation?
We appreciate that flexibility on the road is important. That’s why most prepaid rentals offer a full refund if you cancel at least six hours before the scheduled collection time. It’s still good to go through your rental agreement though because there are some exceptions. If you can’t see any details there, make your way to our Customer Service Portal.

What do you need to rent a car in Santa Maria?
Most rental companies will need these two things — a valid driver’s license and credit card. If you choose to opt out of the provider’s insurance plan, proof of your own coverage may also be needed. Read through your policy so you know what to bring when it’s time to collect your car.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Santa Maria?
You can, and the terrific news is providers often offer lower prices the longer your rental term. Explore our long-term car rental deals in Santa Maria and cruise away with an amazing bargain.
Where can I find a Santa Maria car rental if I am younger than 25?
Some Santa Maria companies will rent cars to drivers under 25 years old, and others won’t. Policies differ from supplier to supplier, so you’ll need to do some research. Also, find out if there are any additional costs. Some places will pass on a surcharge to young drivers between the ages of 21 and 24. Always look through the terms and conditions so you know what to expect.
