Hiring a Car in Santa Barbara: Good to Know

How to Find the Cheap Car Hire Deal in Santa Barbara

Choose Convenient Pickup Locations

Select a pickup location that is convenient for you. Some rental companies offer locations within the airport for quick access, while others may require shuttle transportation.
Find the best pickup locations

Compare Insurance Options: Free Excess vs. Not Free

When selecting insurance, consider whether it includes free excess coverage. Free excess means you won’t pay a deductible in case of damage, providing additional peace of mind. Compare options to find the best fit for your needs.
Choose the right insurance coverage

Guarantee Your Car Type

If you have a specific vehicle in mind, opt for rentals that guarantee your chosen car type. This ensures that you receive the vehicle you expect, rather than being offered an alternative.
Choose a rental with guaranteed car type

Consider Car Upgrades

If you're looking for more comfort or features, inquire about upgrade options at the rental desk. Sometimes, upgrades are offered at a discounted rate at pickup.
Explore upgrade options for comfort

Familiarize Yourself with the Vehicle

Take a moment to familiarize yourself with the vehicle's controls and features before driving off. Knowing how to operate essentials like headlights, wipers, and navigation systems can enhance safety and convenience.
Understand car features before driving

Check for Promotional Offers

Before booking, check for any promotional offers or discounts that may be available. Many rental companies provide seasonal deals or discounts for early bookings.
Look for discounts and deals

Check Your Personal Insurance

Before renting a car, check if your personal car insurance covers rental losses. Many personal auto insurance policies and credit cards offer coverage for rentals, which could save you from extra insurance fees.
Use personal insurance to save costs

Understand Deposit Policies

Most rental companies will require a credit card for the deposit, which is typically frozen in your account. Make sure to inquire about the specific deposit amount and the policy for releasing the freeze.
