Frequently asked questions

What happens if I need to cancel my Washington car reservation?
There are always times when plans change. That's why we provide a full refund on most bookings if you cancel a minimum of six hours in advance of pickup. Remember to double-check your policy — in some cases it's not available. Can't find anything there? Our Customer Service Portal has more useful information.
What types of cars can I rent in Washington?
Affordably priced, a dream to handle and delivering great mileage, it's little wonder compact cars are the most sought-after rental type in Washington. Tour this city in one of these and you'll be able to slide into tight parking spaces and easily manoeuvre busy streets. A compact is ideal for city escapes or shorter road trips. But they're not your only choice. Go even smaller with an economy model or bigger with an intermediate, a full-size or premium — there's a style of vehicle to suit you!

What do you need to rent a car in Washington?
Before you can road trip around Washington, you'll need a driver's licence and a credit card.

Requirements may vary, so understand the policy terms and conditions before you choose a rental supplier.

Where can I find a Washington car rental if I am younger than 25?
If you're a young driver hoping to rent a vehicle in Washington, it'd be wise to check the terms and conditions of the car rental companies you're interested in. Some may rent to drivers under 25, some may not. There may be extra fees if you're between 21 and 24 years of age. To avoid any unpleasant surprises at the rental desk, make sure you do your research.
