Frequently asked questions

What happens if I need to cancel my Scarborough car reservation?
We've all been faced with times when even the best-laid plans go wrong. That's why we offer a full refund on most prepaid reservations if cancelled at least six hours before picking up the car. Don't forget to double-check your rental agreement — sometimes it's not included. Can't find the details there? Our Customer Service Portal is always available to help.
What types of cars can I rent in Scarborough?
From small economy rides to premium cars and spacious SUVs, you have plenty of choice. But if you're looking for something in the middle, consider an intermediate vehicle. The most booked rental in Scarborough offers more comfort than a compact or economy car. Another perk? You'll have more room for luggage and legs. Discovering this exciting city will be a dream in an intermediate.

How old do you have to be to rent a car in Scarborough?
The youngest age you can rent a vehicle in Scarborough is 21. A young driver surcharge typically applies, so check before you book and budget for any additional costs. There could also be restrictions on the types of vehicles that can be rented by young drivers. For example, some companies will only rent out economy, compact and medium-sized cars to less-experienced motorists. Requirements may differ between companies, so be sure to read the fine print carefully.
What do you need to rent a car in Scarborough?
Most rental companies will require two things — a valid driver's licence and a credit card in your name. If you choose to opt out of the supplier's insurance plan, proof of your own coverage may also be needed. Read your policy thoroughly so you know what to bring when it's time to pick up the keys.
What side of the road do you drive on in Scarborough?
In Scarborough, be prepared to drive on the left. This is obviously different from driving in the States, so be careful and pay extra attention when you're behind the wheel.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Scarborough?
Yes. We partner with reputable suppliers that offer long-term rentals for all types of cars. Pick up one of our long-term car rental deals and discover every part of Scarborough — or beyond!
Where can I find a Scarborough car rental if I am younger than 25?
If you're a young driver hoping to rent a car in Scarborough, check the policies of the car rental companies you're interested in. Some may rent to drivers under 25, some may not. There may be additional costs if you're aged between 21 and 24. To escape any nasty surprises at the rental counter, make sure you know what to expect.
