Cancellation policy – After your reservation is confirmed, a fee of $75.00 or 10% of the prepaid amount (whichever amount is greater) will apply.
Reservations with a total value less than the cancellation fee itself will not be eligible for refund. Failure to cancel prior to pick-up date and time will result in all charges being final (no refunds, no changes, non-transferable). There are no refunds for early returns. There will be no refunds if the primary driver cannot provide a valid driver's license and/or major credit card in driver's own name
NEW - You can opt for a Future Credit which will protect the FULL value of your prepaid rental. This will avoid the normal cancellation fee agreed to at the time of booking. You can use your future credit within one year of the issuance date at any location worldwide.
To apply your future credit voucher to a new reservation, simply click on the Contact Us button on our website, choose the “Redeem/rebook with future credit option”, and provide us with the details requested along with your phone number. An agent will reach out to you to assist.
