SNA features various car rental providers on-site and off-site, offering you diverse options for your Orange County trip. On-site car rental desks are conveniently situated at the Arrival Level, right across the John Wayne monument, between Terminals A and B. If you opt for an off-site car rental agency, various rental providers at SNA offer shuttle service from the ground transportation area to their off-site location. Always contact your off-site rental provider beforehand to know whether they provide pick-up services before booking your reservation.
To rent a car at SNA, you must have a valid state-issued driver's license. A license verifies that you are a legal driver and serves as a confirmation of age. Typically, car rental providers at SNA prefer renters to be at least 25 years. However, renters between 21 and 24 can also rent a car at SNA but will face surcharges and restrictions. A valid driver's license from your home country accompanied by a passport is required for foreign nationals. If your driver's license is not written in the English alphabet, you will need to present it with an International Driver's Permit.
Typically, you can add your spouse to your Santa Ana John Wayne/Orange County Airport car rental at no additional cost. All car rental requirements will also apply for any extra driver.

Pros:
Car was excellent and a very good value.Cons:
Pick-up and drop off were slow and drawn out. Stood by for 15 minutes waiting to check out while one agent worked and two others walked in and out without a word. Finally someone noticed me standing there and said someone would soon help me. Another 5 mintes with no attention!2.0 Poor

Pros:
The staff at the rental counter and the auto check out were very friendly and professional. It could not have been simpler.Cons:
They probably say the same thing every time there is a new customer, but I would suggest they take a little bit of time explaining the charges when renting a car. The masks don't help, but also the fact that I don't rent cars very often makes it important to explain it fully.10.0 Wonderful

Pros:
Drop off was very easy, just pulled up and got checked in and wasn’t far from my terminal. Also it was cheaper than getting one not at the airport.Cons:
I got there really late at night and two attendants were busy for quite awhile. Only one girl at the counter. She ran into a couple snags and anyway it was 20 min before I was greeted...but well taken care of after.10.0 Wonderful

Anonymous, Apr 2021
Cons:
Pickup was very cumbersome. Why do I have to re-give all the same address/phone number/credit card details over the counter that I gave when I made the reservation? The system should have all my details. Just give me the keys. It shouldn't take 15 minutes of back and forth to check each person in. The line to wait at the counter was longer than the flight to Orange County was!4.0 Mediocre

Pros:
Staff was great at pick up and dropoffCons:
The quality of the vehicle. Given a vehicle with a big dent in the door. Purchased the package that I could choose my own vehicle only to find out I needed to pay an upgrade for a mustang if I wanted. I will not use the choose your vehicle option because I did not get to choose .One location in Santa Ana J. Wayne/Orange Cnty Airport
