Frequently asked questions

What happens if I need to cancel my Detroit car reservation?
We've all been faced with times when even our best-laid plans get upended. That's why we give your money back on most reservations if you notify us six hours before the pickup time. Don't forget to double-check the cancellation policy — in some cases it's not available. Can't find anything there? Our Customer Service Portal has more information.
What types of cars can I rent in Detroit?
Economical, zippy and delivering great mileage, it's little wonder compact vehicles are the most booked rental category in Detroit. Drive around this city in one of these and you'll be able to fit into tight parking spaces and easily navigate busy streets. A compact is ideal for city escapes or quick road trips. But they're not your only choice. Go even smaller with an economy model or stretch out in an intermediate, a full-size or premium — the choice is yours!
