Frequently asked questions

What happens if I need to cancel my Raleigh car reservation?
Our Customer Service Portal has details about this. In the majority of situations, total refunds are available if a prepaid booking is cancelled more than six hours ahead of pickup. Be sure to read your rental policy to double-check if there are any exclusions.
What types of cars can I rent in Raleigh?
Inexpensive, a breeze to handle and delivering great mileage, it's no surprise that compact vehicles are the most commonly booked rental type in Raleigh. Explore this city in one of these and you'll be able to park in tight spaces and easily navigate traffic. A compact is ideal for city breaks or shorter road trips. But they're not your only options. Go even smaller with an economy ride or bigger with a full-size or premium — the choice is yours!

How old do you have to be to rent a car in Raleigh?
Generally, you need to be 21 years and over in Raleigh. Be aware that most companies will charge a young driver fee. Check before you sign up, as rules may differ between rental car providers. Bear in mind that if you want to rent a specialty vehicle or a large car like a premium SUV, rules may require drivers to be older than 21.
What do you need to rent a car in Raleigh?
Any rental company you select will ask for these two things — your driver's licence and credit card. If you'd like to opt out of the provider's insurance plan, proof of other coverage may also be needed. Read through your policy so you know what to bring when it's time to collect your wheels.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Raleigh?
You can, and the good news is suppliers often offer lower rates the longer your rental term. Look up our long-term car rental deals in Raleigh and drive away with an amazing bargain.
Where can I find a Raleigh car rental if I am younger than 25?
Some Raleigh companies will rent to drivers under 25 years old, and others won't. Policies differ from supplier to supplier, so you should do some research. Also, find out if there are additional costs. Some outlets will pass on a surcharge to young customers between 21 and 24. Always read through the terms and conditions so you know what to expect.
