Frequently asked questions

What happens if I need to cancel my Santa Monica car reservation?
Our Customer Service Portal has all the info about cancellations. In the majority of cases, total refunds are available if a reservation is canceled at least six hours ahead of the arranged pickup time. It's a good idea to scan the policy to see if there are any exemptions.
Why should I rent a Santa Monica car with Expedia?

How do I find the best car rental deals in Santa Monica with Expedia?
Browse our wide selection of car rentals, check out customer ratings and compare prices from top brands. In a few simple clicks, Expedia will help you find the best deal on your wheels. Got a hotel or flight booking? Add on your Santa Monica car rental and save even more.
What do you need to rent a car in Santa Monica?
A valid driver's license and a credit card in the same name are essentials. Don't want to take out the company's insurance plan? Then you may also need proof of other coverage. The requirements may differ between providers, so read your policy thoroughly.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Santa Monica?
Whether you plan to stop in Santa Monica or discover what's beyond, it's easy to reserve a long-term rental with Expedia. Enter your trip dates and pick-up/drop-off locations and we'll find you amazing long-term car rental deals.
Where can I find a Santa Monica car rental if I am younger than 25?
Age policies differ between rental suppliers, so you'll have to do a little homework. Managed to find a Santa Monica supplier that does rent to drivers under 25? Terrific! Just take note that some companies charge additional fees to drivers aged between 21 and 24. The fine print of each rental car you're interested in will have all the information you need.
