Frequently asked questions

What happens if I need to cancel my Santa Cruz car reservation?
That won't be a problem. If you cancel your reservation more than six hours ahead of the pickup time, you'll most likely receive a full refund. It's a good idea to scan the rental policy as there are some exceptions. Jump onto our Customer Service Portal if you still have questions.
What types of cars can I rent in Santa Cruz?
Mini, economy, full-size, premium ... It's up to you! However, compact models are the most popular in Santa Cruz. If you want something reasonably priced and small, but not too small, this rental car category is a wise choice. Navigating traffic-filled streets will be a cinch in one of these. Compact vehicles are a little roomier than economy rides and are suited to families on a budget, couples or solo travellers.

How old do you have to be to rent a car in Santa Cruz?
Rental vehicle rules in Santa Cruz require drivers to be 21 and above. Are you a younger driver? A few surcharges and restrictions may apply. Rental outlets impose what's known as a young renter surcharge, which is an extra fee to the car rental cost. Restrictions usually apply to the sorts of cars young people can rent as well. Age limits may differ between companies, so check before booking.
What do you need to rent a car in Santa Cruz?
While terms and conditions can differ between car rental outlets, the two key things you'll need are your driver's licence and a credit card. You don't need to take out auto insurance with your rental provider. However, proof of alternative coverage may be necessary.
What side of the road do you drive on in Santa Cruz?
Just like the States, you drive on the right in Philippines. But that doesn't mean that all road rules are the same. Familiarise yourself with the local traffic laws before motoring around Santa Cruz.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Santa Cruz?
Yes, which means you won't need to rebook a rental vehicle halfway through your holiday. Go to our long-term car rental deals page, enter your trip information and secure a ride that's all yours for the next month or so.
Where can I find a Santa Cruz car rental if I am younger than 25?
Age policies are different between rental companies, so be prepared to do a bit of homework. Managed to find a Santa Cruz supplier that does rent to drivers under 25? Great! Just take note that extra charges often apply to drivers between the ages of 21 and 24. The fine print of each rental car you're interested in will have all the details you need.
