Frequently asked questions

What happens if I need to cancel my Austin car reservation?
We understand that having the freedom to change your plans is important. That's why most prepaid bookings give a complete refund if you cancel at least six hours before collecting the car. You may want to read over the rental agreement though as there are some exclusions. If the information isn't there, head over to our Customer Service Portal.
What types of cars can I rent in Austin?
Whatever meets your needs! Go for an intermediate or full-size if you're with the family, or level up to a premium for a top-of-the-range ride. Or, choose an economy vehicle — the most popular rental in Austin. Affordable and with terrific mileage, they're a good match for solo travellers, couples or anyone else who doesn't need a huge amount of space. They're particularly suited to exploring cities. Zipping into cramped parking spots will be a snap!

Do your research before you book, as rules may differ between rental car suppliers. Bear in mind that if you want to rent a specialty ride or a large car like an SUV, you may need to be older than 18.
What do you need to rent a car in Austin?
A current driver's licence and a credit card in the same name. Don't want to take out the company's insurance plan? Then you may also need proof of your own coverage. Requirements can differ between rental companies, so be sure to read through your policy.
What side of the road do you drive on in Austin?
In Austin and around Brazil, people drive on the right-hand side of the road. While this is the same as in the States, you'll need to be mindful of any different driving laws.

Where can I find an Austin car rental if I am younger than 25?
You'll need to look into the age policy of the Austin rental suppliers you're considering. If you're under the age of 25, some outlets will charge additional fees. It's good to know this ahead of time so you can tailor your budget accordingly. Every rental car company has its own policies for younger drivers, so it pays to do your research.
