FAQ
Does my rental car have a mileage limit?
Mileage limitations vary across rental companies and rental offers. Please see the rental conditions for the offer you are interested in to find out the number of miles included (or it includes unlimited mileage).
Would it be possible to use a debit card to pay for the rental?
While it is possible to use a debit card on our website, a credit card is usually required to pick up the car. There are some companies that will accept debit cards, though. Be sure to check the payment policy section of the rental conditions to see if a company accepts debit cards or not.
Is there any insurance to remove the deductible or reduce it to zero?
It is usually possible to purchase additional coverage at the rental desk that would eliminate the deductible. In many cases, a small deposit is still required to cover incidentals. An alternative, if you are willing to leave a larger deposit, is to purchase our Full Coverage which is usually significantly cheaper and will reimburse you for any part of the deductible that you pay to the rental company for damage or theft.
Is road assistance provided?
It depends on the vehicle you choose. It is included in most, but not all, offers. Be sure to check the description of the car you choose to be sure.
