Rental prices are calculated in 24-hour periods from the pick-up time. For example, collecting the car at 10:00 and returning it at 10:00 the next day counts as 1 rental day.
Reservations are subject to confirmation. After you book, your request remains pending until the rental provider confirms availability. This can take up to 48 hours. Once confirmed, you will receive the booking details by email.
If the selected vehicle is not available, we will contact you with alternative options and any applicable price difference. If none of the alternatives suits you, you may cancel and receive a full refund of the amount paid online.
Yes, changes can be made before the rental starts, subject to availability and any price differences. Just email us and we will assist you.
Yes. You can cancel up to 24 hours before pick-up and receive a refund of the amount paid online.
If a rental provider cancels a confirmed reservation for reasons beyond our control, we cannot guarantee an alternative vehicle. However, we will refund any amount paid through us and do our best to help you find a suitable alternative with one of our trusted partners.
A part of the cost is charged from your card as soon as the reservation is confirmed. The remaining is paid directly to the car rental supplier when you pick-up the car. This payment breakdown can be found on the checkout page and in the confirmation email.
Many options on our website do not require a credit card, although some do. You can check this on the checkout page under "Terms and Conditions", and you can also filter search results to show options with no credit card required.
The security deposit is the amount required at pick-up and refundable at the end of the rental given the car is returned in the same condition. Some options on our website require a security deposit, while others don't. This is clearly indicated at checkout.
💡 If you are looking for options that don't require a security deposit, you can filter the search results by "No security deposit required".

When you book, you are reserving a vehicle category rather than a specific make or model. Cars in the same category may vary by manufacturer but offer similar features.

Yes. All options on our website include unlimited mileage.
Most cars are provided with a full tank and should be returned full (FULL-FULL). Some options follow a SAME-SAME policy, meaning the car should be returned with the same fuel level as at pick-up. The exact fuel policy is always shown at checkout. In all cases, you simply refill the fuel you use before returning the car.
Child seats, baby seats and booster seats are available as optional extras. You can find and select these at checkout under "Extras".

All rental cars include third-party liability insurance, as required by local law. This covers damage or injury caused to third parties.

1. No CDW insurance.
2. With CDW insurance, which means your liability in case of damages is reduced to a certain amount (known as the excess or franchise).
3. With Super CDW, which means full coverage in case of damages to rental vehicle, with a small or even 0 excess. These options are highlighted as "Full insurance included". You can also filter for these in the results.
The excess or liability amount depends on the rental option and any insurance package selected. This information is shown in the rental terms at checkout, so you can review it before completing your booking.
Yes. Most rental partners offer optional cover such as CDW or Super CDW to reduce or limit your liability in case of damages to the car. Available options are shown under "Insurance options" at checkout and can be hired when picking up the car.
