Frequently asked questions

What happens if I need to cancel my Santa Bárbara car reservation?
Don’t stress. You should be eligible for all of your money back if you notify us at least six hours ahead of collecting the car. Your itinerary contains information about this, and so does our Customer Service Portal. Not all bookings will receive a refund though, so it’s a good idea to check your cancellation policy.
Why should I rent a Santa Bárbara car with Expedia?
Expedia is the perfect place to book your rental car. With suppliers in Santa Bárbara to select from, we search high and low to get you fantastic deals.

How do I find the best car rental deals in Santa Bárbara with Expedia?
It’s easy to find an awesome deal with Expedia. Simply choose your wheels, select your dates and preferred pickup and drop-off locations, and compare offers from all the big-name suppliers. Make even bigger savings when you combine your Santa Bárbara car rental with flight or hotel bookings.
What do you need to rent a car in Santa Bárbara?
Any rental company you choose will require two things — a valid driver’s license and a credit card in your name. If you want to opt out of the provider’s insurance plan, proof of your own coverage will also likely be needed. Read your policy thoroughly so you know what to bring when it’s time to collect your wheels.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Santa Bárbara?
Expedia makes it a cinch to book a long-term rental in Santa Bárbara. Simply head to our long-term car rental deals page, enter your trip information and browse the possibilities.
Where can I find a Santa Bárbara car rental if I am younger than 25?
Whether you can rent a car under the age of 25 in Santa Bárbara often depends on the rental provider you select. Some businesses have a surcharge for customers aged between 21 and 24 years, but other companies may not apply any additional costs for this age bracket. Be sure to read the terms and conditions of your selected car rental dealer to avoid unnecessary costs when picking up your keys.
