  • Visiting Santa Barbara - A Peaceful City by the Pacific

    When you're in Santa Barbara, you'll have the serene Pacific waters on one side and the Santa Ynez mountain range on the other. In between are plenty of attractions, and having your own car rental can make travel around town more convenient. Navigating traffic in the city is made easier since the downtown streets are laid out in a grid, with US 101 passing right through.

    Feel the Sand on Your Toes

    With the way Santa Barbara is situated, you'll want to drive south from most points to head to the beach, and it should take you less than 10 minutes to get there with your car rental. You have a few choices; Leadbetter, East and Butterfly beaches all have sandy shores and parking nearby. They're all located within a few miles of each other, and they offer great sunset views.

    Head Toward the Hills

    The Santa Barbara Botanic Garden is north of town in Rattlesnake Canyon. It has 5.5 miles of paths that can take you to a Japanese tea garden, a redwood grove and an area along Mission Creek.

    If you prefer a bigger adventure, keep driving up the canyon a few miles. You'll come to the Inspiration Point Trailhead, and from here, you can hike up to various peaks and vista points.

Car Rental Requirements in the United States

  • Minimum Age

    In most countries, the minimum age required to hire a vehicle is 25.

  • Driver’s License

    For bookings with pick-up outside your country of residence, it is mandatory to present the original physical Driver’s License, valid and within the expiration date, issued in your country of origin.
    Some rental companies and government authorities may require, in addition to the Driver’s License, the International Driving Permit, which is mandatory for: Austria, Bulgaria, Greece, Hungary, Italy, Poland, Romania, Switzerland, and Ukraine and highly recommended for any other country not listed above, especially where the alphabet used is different from the Roman one (for example: Czech Republic, Middle Eastern and Asian countries).
    Obtaining and presenting the International Driving Permit is the sole responsibility of the driver. If the rental company agrees to rent the vehicle without presenting the International Driving Permit, restrictions or additional fees may apply. To ensure a smooth driving experience abroad, it is always recommended to carry a valid Driver’s License and the physical International Driving Permit.

  • ID or Passport

    Each driver must present a valid and original photo ID or passport.

  • International Credit Card

    The renter must present a personal credit card, valid in the country of pick-up with enough funds to put a hold for a security deposit. Third-party credit cards will not be accepted. The car rental company is solely responsible for approving the provided credit card. Online prepayment does not exempt the renter from providing a valid international credit card during vehicle pick-up. The rental company will place a hold in the amount of the security deposit and, when applicable, any additional local fees not covered in the prepaid voucher on the card provided at the rental location.

  • Prepaid Booking Voucher

    You must present a printout of the Booking Confirmation Voucher at the rental location. This document officially confirms all agreed upon services, payment conditions, rates, discounts, as well as vehicle availability within the group selected.
