Question 1

Should I get insurance when renting a car in Santa Ana?

Accepted Answer

When renting a car in Santa Ana, valid insurance is required for financial protection; without it, your rental may be denied.

You can choose from options such as Excess Fee Insurance during the booking process on our website, or Full Coverage Insurance or Excess Reduction at the rental counter to ensure comprehensive protection.
