Frequently asked questions

What happens if I need to cancel my Santa Bárbara car reservation?
Browse over your rental policy to be certain, but nearly all reservations will receive a total refund if you advise us at least six hours prior to collecting the car. There are some exceptions though. Your booking will have more details, or just hop onto our Customer Service Portal.
What types of cars can I rent in Santa Bárbara?
Whatever suits your style! Go for a mid-size or full-size if you're with the family, or level up to a premium if you're chasing sophistication. Or, choose an economy model — the most booked rental in Santa Bárbara. Affordable and with excellent mileage, they're a good fit for solo travellers, couples or anyone else who doesn't require a huge amount of space. They're particularly suited to driving around cities. Slipping into tight parking spots will be a snap!
How do I find the best car rental deals in Santa Bárbara with Expedia?
Finding the best deal on your Santa Bárbara rental car is a breeze with Expedia. Choose your preferred car type, add some details and compare prices across popular brands. Why not add hotels and flights to your booking? You'll score terrific discounts when you combine your bookings into a package.
How old do you have to be to rent a car in Santa Bárbara?
You'll need to be at least 18 to jump behind the wheel of a rental vehicle in Santa Bárbara. Keep in mind that young drivers may be restricted to renting from a few car classes, such as compact and economy. Higher age limits usually apply for larger vehicles like premium SUVs. Most companies will also charge a young renter fee. Read through the rules before booking and factor any extra fees into your holiday budget.
What do you need to rent a car in Santa Bárbara?
Most rental companies will require two things — your driver's licence and credit card. If you'd prefer to opt out of the supplier's insurance plan, proof of your own coverage will also likely be needed. Check your policy so you know what to bring when it's time to pick up the keys.
What side of the road do you drive on in Santa Bárbara?
Traffic drives on the right and passes on the left in Portugal — the same side as in the U.S. Cruising around Santa Bárbara won't be exactly like home, though. You should familiarise yourself with the local road rules.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Santa Bárbara?
You can rent a vehicle for a month or longer in Santa Bárbara, so go on and extend that holiday! Simply enter your trip information into our long-term car rental deals page and secure your perfect ride.
Where can I find a Santa Bárbara car rental if I am younger than 25?
You'll need to check the age policy of the Santa Bárbara rental providers you're considering. If you're under 25 years of age, some will charge additional fees. It's useful to know about this before collecting the vehicle so you can have the funds ready. Every rental car company has its own rules for young drivers, so it's smart to do your research.
