Frequently asked questions

What happens if I need to cancel my Santa Barbara car reservation?
We all have times when plans suddenly change. That’s why we provide your money back on many rentals if you cancel a minimum of six hours in advance of the collection time. Remember to double-check the rental agreement — there are some instances where it’s not available. Can’t find the details there? Our Customer Service Portal has more useful information.

Where can I find a Santa Barbara car rental if I am younger than 25?
Age policies differ between rental suppliers, so be prepared to do a little shopping around. Found a Santa Barbara outlet that does rent to drivers under the age of 25? That’s great!
