Frequently asked questions

What happens if I need to cancel my Houghton Lake car reservation?
We get that having the freedom to change your plans is important. That's why most prepaid rentals give a full refund if you cancel at least six hours in advance of collecting the car. It's still good to scan the rental agreement though because there are some exceptions. If you can't see any details there, have a look on our Customer Service Portal.
