Find top-rated car hire deals in Santa BarbaraBe prepared for card requirements at pickup
A credit card is often required for deposits, especially with suppliers like Thrifty in Santa Barbara. If you only have a debit card, use our website filter to find suitable offers or consider obtaining a credit card. Ensure that the main driver’s card is used to avoid any additional fees.
Search for debit card-friendly car hireKnow Your Roadside Assistance Options
Before your trip, confirm if your rental includes roadside assistance. This can be crucial in case of breakdowns or emergencies during your rental period.
Check for included roadside assistanceCheck 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 costsAdd a Second Driver
If you plan to share driving, check if the rental company allows a second driver and whether there are additional fees. Some companies offer free second driver options under certain conditions.
Explore options for additional driversConfirm Payment Methods
Many rental companies require payment by credit card and may not accept debit cards. If you only have a debit card, check the rental company's payment policies in advance and look for suitable options.
Choose the right payment optionOpt for a favourable fuel policy.
When hiring a car in Santa Barbara, choose a car hire deal with a “Full-to-Full” or “Same-to-Same” fuel policy from suppliers like Thrifty. These policies ensure you only pay for the fuel you use, helping you avoid unnecessary costs. While a “Full-to-Empty” policy might seem convenient, it can often be more expensive if you don’t use all the fuel.
Choose a cost-effective car hire fuel policyUnderstand Age Restrictions
Be aware that some rental companies impose age restrictions or additional fees for drivers under 25. Make sure to check the company’s age policy when booking.
