Question 1

Do I need a valid passport to hire a car at Santa Barbara Municipal Airport?

Always verify the specific identification requirements with the hire company, as they can vary based on the country and region.

Accepted Answer

The hire contract normally includes comprehensive details such as the terms and conditions of the hire, insurance coverage options, hire duration, and payment details. It also outlines any additional services requested, such as GPS or child seats, and specifies policies on fuel, mileage limits, and fees for additional drivers. Additionally, the contract normally includes information about responsibilities for property damage, procedures for returning the vehicle, age requirements, and accepted forms of identification, like a valid driver's license and credit card.

Question 9

Should I purchase extra insurance when renting a car at Santa Barbara Municipal Airport, SBA?

Accepted Answer

All hire companies require valid insurance for financial protection; without it, your hire request may be denied. You might not need additional insurance if you already have coverage that applies to international hires for your chosen car type or class, or if your credit card provides insurance for hires abroad. If these conditions do not apply, purchasing extra protection is essential. You can secure your deposit by buying Excess Fee Insurance during booking on our website or opting for Full Coverage Insurance or Excess Reduction at the hire counter.

Question 10

Question 11

Can I hire a car from Santa Barbara Municipal Airport, SBA?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can get a car hire at Santa Barbara Municipal Airport, SBA.

Question 12

Do I need to return the vehicle with a full tank of gas?

Accepted Answer

The fuel policy you select will determine your fueling responsibilities. With a full-to-full or same-to-same option, you need to return the car with the same amount of fuel it had at pickup. If not, you'll be charged for the missing fuel at a rate higher than the local gas stations. Alternatively, you can choose to prepay for a full tank. This means you won't need to refuel the car before returning it. However, the cost will be higher overall since you'll be charged the local gas price minus a per-gallon discount, leading to an increased total cost.
