Frequently asked questions

Can I rent a car from Hancock Intl. Airport (SYR)?
You can choose from an excellent range of rental car suppliers not far from the airport. Budget, Thrifty Car Rental and Payless are popular with travellers. Enterprise and Dollar are some other reliable options.
What happens if I need to cancel my Austin car reservation?
We understand that having a bit of wiggle room is important. That's why most bookings provide a total refund if cancelled six hours in advance of the scheduled collection time. It's still good to read over your policy though because there are some exemptions. If you can't see any details there, have a look on our Customer Service Portal.

How old do you have to be to rent a car in Austin?
Usually, the requirement is 21 years and over in Austin. Be aware that most companies will charge extra fees for young renters. Read the fine print before you sign up, as different rules may apply between rental car providers. Bear in mind that if you want to rent a luxury ride or a larger car like an SUV, you may need to be older than 21.

Where can I find an Austin car rental if I am younger than 25?
Whether you can rent a vehicle if you are under 25 years old in Austin often depends on the rental supplier you choose. Some places apply a surcharge for young customers aged between 21 and 24 years, but others may not apply any additional costs for this age bracket. It'd be wise to go through the terms and conditions of your selected rental dealer to avoid unnecessary costs when picking up your keys.
