Frequently asked questions

What happens if I need to cancel my Santa María car reservation?
Don't stress. You should receive a full refund if you cancel at least six hours ahead of the collection time. Your confirmation contains details about this, and so does our Customer Service Portal. Not all bookings result in a refund though, so it's a good idea to read through your car's cancellation policy.
What types of cars can I rent in Santa María?
Cost-effective, easy to drive and with excellent mileage, it's hardly surprising compact cars are the most booked type of rental in Santa María. Tour this city in one of these and you'll be able to fit into tight parking spaces and easily manoeuvre busy streets. A compact is ideal for city escapes or quick road trips. But they're not your only choice. Go even smaller with an economy ride or stretch out in an intermediate, a full-size or premium — there's a style of vehicle to suit you!
