We’ve all been faced with times when even our best-laid plans get upended. That’s why we give a full refund on the majority of prepaid rentals if you let us know at least six hours in advance of the pickup time. Don’t forget to double-check your policy — there are some cases where it’s not available. Found nothing there? Our Customer Service Portal has more information.
