Frequently asked questions

What happens if I need to cancel my Monterey car reservation?
We've all been faced with times when even the best-laid plans go wrong. That's why we offer your money back on the majority of bookings if you advise us at least six hours ahead of collecting the car. Remember to double-check the rental agreement — in some cases it's not available. Can't find the details there? Our Customer Service Portal is always available to help.
What types of cars can I rent in Monterey?
Keep costs low with an economy, style it up in a premium ride or go for something in between, like an intermediate. But it's hard to beat a compact car — the most commonly booked rental type in Monterey. They're a cinch to handle and park, fuel-efficient and a good idea if you're road-tripping around busy cities. A step up from economy, you can expect a little more room and comfort at a price that's still nice.
