Frequently asked questions

What happens if I need to cancel my Santa Cruz car reservation?
We understand that flexibility while traveling is important. That’s why many prepaid bookings offer a complete refund if you notify us a minimum of six hours in advance of collecting the car. It’s still good to go through the policy though because there are some exclusions. If the information isn’t there, have a look on our Customer Service Portal.
