Top Tips for Renting an SUV in Santa Ana
- Driving Santa Ana SUV rentals is an excellent way to explore this city nestled in Orange County in the greater Los Angeles metropolitan area. If you are in town with friends or family to see the sites, including Disneyland, you can all ride in relaxed, air-conditioned comfort. There is plenty of room for everyone's backpacks, purses, communication and gaming devices, and any souvenirs you pick up. If you are in Southern California to take advantage of the myriad of outdoor recreational activities, an SUV gives you plenty of room to transport beach and diving paraphernalia, camping gear, fishing tackle, and more. Santa Ana SUV rentals allow you to take full advantage of everything the area has to offer.
- Four airports in the Santa Ana vicinity have car rental agencies with Santa Ana SUV rentals available. The John Wayne Airport (SNA), situated in Santa Ana, has car rental counters conveniently located between the baggage claim carousels and the arrivals area. At the Los Angeles International Airport (LAX), you can catch a free shuttle at the arrivals curb of any terminal to the off-site car rental where you made a reservation. At the Ontario International Airport (ONT), a free bus will take you from the arrivals curb to the on-site car rental center. And at Burbank International Airport (BUR), the car rental facility is a short walk across the parking lot.
- Santa Ana and the surrounding cities in the greater Los Angeles metropolitan area are all bike friendly cities, with bike lanes on many city streets. When you are driving Santa Ana SUV rentals, beware of sharing the road with people on cycles, pedaling in lanes to your right. Be especially careful when you are turning right that you do not inadvertently cut off or hit someone on a bicycle. Cyclists in Santa Ana also bike at night and usually have lights on the back of the seats, but still, they can be hard to see. So, be especially vigilant of sharing the road with cyclists at night.
- Anyone driving Santa Ana SUV rentals will almost surely have to contend, at some point, with infamous Southern California freeway traffic congestion. The freeway traffic congestion also backs up onto the city streets during peak rush hours of 6:30 a.m. to 10 a.m. and then from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m. If you are traveling in your Santa Ana SUV rental with passengers, be sure to take advantage of any carpool or High Occupancy Vehicle (HOV) lanes on the freeway, specially marked on the far-left side.

FAQs About Renting an SUV in Santa Ana
What is the minimum age for securing Santa Ana SUV rentals?
In Santa Ana, and throughout California, you must be at least 21 years old in order to rent an SUV. Most Santa Ana car rental agencies will add an extra daily fee to the rental car cost if you are under 25 years old.

Is it okay to drive Santa Ana SUV rentals across the border into Mexico?
Most Santa Ana car rental agencies will allow you to drive their SUVs into Mexico, but you must first obtain their permission because they must sell you a Mexican liability insurance policy—you cannot cross the border without it. When you are at the border, you will also have to show your driver's license, passport, and car rental contract. All passengers in the vehicle will also have to show their passports.
Are there any advantages to joining a car rental agency's rewards program when I make my reservation for a Santa Ana SUV rental?

These advantages can greatly expedite the SUV rental process in Santa Ana, and best of all, joining is usually free.

Pros:
How quick they can get you out of there with your rental car, especially during Covid times. No need to step inside the office.Cons:
Overall it was well done. Limited vehicle choice but I was at a smaller office location. Also customer service said we could get a 4x4 but the office staff were more up front and honest about that. So I’m glad I called ahead.10.0 Wonderful

Oct 2020
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.Dollar

Cons:
The car really smelled bad of weed. I thought if I rolled the windows down it would air out so I took the car but nope. It was so strong and I noted it when I dropped the car back off. I don’t smoke weed so I thought it was horrible. I know it’s legal and I don’t care if people do but I don’t want to drive around all the time smelling it. It was really bad.Budget

Pros:
Staff was friendly & niceCons:
We had reserved a mini van only to be told it was not available an hour before. We then accepted the alternative since we were pressed for time. Everything seemed ok until we loaded all our luggage, kids & grandma buckled up ...within minutes there were trails of ants all over!! Totally disgusting...this has never happened before. I called to complain but was told by the agent that this happens when cars are parked in grassy areas. When I first got in the car , I noticed some crumbs & just brushed it off. Looking back there is absolutely no excuse for this neglect in properly & throughly cleaning a car . This was unacceptable & we then drove to another location to swap the car for the minivan I reserved in the first place 😫 This whole ordeal set us back over an hour & in turn we missed our evening reservation. This caused so much inconvenience. That I will definitely think twice about renting from this company again :(2.4 Poor

The way Inwas treated at drop off.
