Frequently asked questions

What happens if I need to cancel my Monterey car reservation?
We appreciate that flexibility is important. That's why most bookings offer a total refund if cancelled a minimum of six hours ahead of collecting the car. It's still good to read over the rental agreement though as there are some exclusions. If the information isn't there, click on our Customer Service Portal.

But they're not your only options. 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!
