Frequently asked questions

What happens if I need to cancel my New York car reservation?
There are always times when plans are turned on their head. That's why we provide your money back on the majority of reservations if you let us know six hours in advance of the pickup time. Be sure to double-check your rental agreement — there are some cases where it's not offered. Can't find the details there? Our Customer Service Portal is always available to help.
What types of cars can I rent in New York?
Dash around in a nifty mini, style it up in a premium ride or go for something in between, like an intermediate. But it's hard to go past a compact car — the top choice in New York. They're easy to park and handle, fuel-efficient and a good idea if you're exploring cities. A step up from economy, you can expect a little more comfort and room at a price that won't break the bank.

Where can I find a New York car rental if I am younger than 25?
You'll need to investigate the age policy of the New York rental suppliers you're interested in. If you're under the age of 25, be mindful that some will charge extra fees. It's useful to know about this before arriving at the desk so you can have the funds ready. Every rental car company has its own policies for younger drivers, so do your research.
