Frequently asked questions

What happens if I need to cancel my Charlotte car reservation?
We get that plans change and flexibility is important. That's why the majority of bookings give a full refund if you let us know six hours before the scheduled collection time. You may want to read the agreement though as there are some exemptions. If there's nothing specified there, head to our Customer Service Portal.
What types of cars can I rent in Charlotte?
Economy, premium, full-size ... It's up to you! However, compact models are the top pick in Charlotte. If you're after something small and affordable, but not too small, this category of rental vehicle is the ideal choice. Navigating bustling streets will be easy in one of these. Compact cars offer a little more room than economy models and are well-suited to couples and families on a budget.

How old do you have to be to rent a car in Charlotte?
Rental car rules in Charlotte require drivers to be 21 and over. Are you a young driver? Some restrictions and surcharges may apply.

Age limits may differ between providers, so check before you book.
What do you need to rent a car in Charlotte?
While rules may differ between outlets, the two key things you'll need are a valid driver's licence and a credit card. You don't need to take out insurance with your rental company. However, proof of alternative coverage may be required.

Where can I find a Charlotte car rental if I am younger than 25?
Age policies differ between rental suppliers, so you'll have to do a little homework. Found a Charlotte outlet that does rent to drivers under the age of 25? Great! Just bear in mind that extra fees often apply to drivers between the ages of 21 and 24. The fine print of each rental car you're considering will have all the information you need.
