Renting a car is one of the easiest ways to get from point A to point B while visiting Santa Barbara, CA. Determining the type of car rental you'll require is the first step in the process. Smaller cars are often classified as compact or economy; these cars are the ones that are going to have the best gas mileage. Saving money on gas could make a huge dent in your overall travel expenses so if you can manage in a car that seats a couple people and a couple bags, a compact or economy car could be the right choice for you. No budget for your vacation? Perhaps a convertible or SUV would be a great option.

Santa Barbara Car Rental Tips
• When checking in at the rental car counter, be sure and don't forget to offer them your membership club card/number to ensure you receive credit for your reservation and can earn all applicable points/benefits.
• Be sure and know the average local gas prices in your drop off location as the rental car company will more than likely offer you the option in paying a fee to bring the car back empty (at so much a gallon) or require you to fill it up before dropping off.
• When visiting Santa Barbara, a rental car is a great way to get around. When budgeting for your trip, keep in mind that some hotels in downtown areas will charge a daily rate for parking.
