Before you rely on a policy

Amounts and eligibility can change by branch, vehicle, card, and booking. A pending hold is different from a settled charge.

What to check first

  • Enter the actual driver's age at checkout.
  • Check minimum age and restricted vehicles.
  • Confirm the daily surcharge on the location quote.
