Frequently asked questions

What happens if I need to cancel my Charlotte car reservation?
We know that having the freedom to change your plans is important. That's why most prepaid reservations give a full refund if you cancel a minimum of six hours ahead of the collection time. You may want to scan the rental policy though because there are some exemptions. If the information isn't there, head to our Customer Service Portal.
What types of cars can I rent in Charlotte?
Affordable, zippy and great on mileage, it's little wonder compact cars are the most in-demand rental category in Charlotte. Tour this city in one of these and you'll be able to park in tight spaces and easily manoeuvre busy streets. A compact is perfect for city escapes or shorter road trips. But they're not your only choice. Go even smaller with an economy ride or stretch out in a full-size or premium — there's a style of vehicle to suit you!

What do you need to rent a car in Charlotte?

Where can I find a Charlotte car rental if I am younger than 25?
