Frequently asked questions

What happens if I need to cancel my Dayton car reservation?
We realise that plans change at the last minute. That's why the majority of bookings allow for a complete refund if you cancel a minimum of six hours before collecting the car. Your rental agreement should include all the information you need. If you can't find the answer there, our Customer Service Portal is always here to help.
What types of cars can I rent in Dayton?
Affordably priced, a cinch to handle and delivering excellent mileage, it's no wonder compact cars are the most sought-after rental type in Dayton. Explore this city in one of these and you'll be able to fit into tight parking spaces and easily get around busy streets. A compact is perfect for city escapes or short road trips. But they're not your only choice. Go even smaller with an economy model or bigger with a full-size or premium — the choice is yours!
Where can I go on a road trip from Dayton?
Dayton offers adventures galore, but don't restrict yourself to only one place. Grab a set of wheels and hit the road to explore the wider area. These are some great options:

  • You'll find Keeneland Racing Course and countless other interesting sights in Lexington. From Dayton, it's 121 kilometres away.
  • Approximately 145 kilometres away, Louisville is also a favourite with wanderers. Allow time to experience Churchill Downs while you're here. It's one of the reasons people love staying a while in this vibrant city.
  • Find your way to Stan Hywet Hall and Gardens to reconnect with nature. Take a picnic to enjoy or just recharge your batteries in the fresh air. From Dayton, it's roughly 338 kilometres away.

How old do you have to be to rent a car in Dayton?
Drivers aged 21 and above can road trip around Dayton in a rental vehicle. If you're a young motorist, a daily surcharge will apply. You'll usually have fewer car categories to select from, such as compact and mid-size, and may also be required to buy inclusive insurance. Be sure to enter the correct age of the primary driver when booking to find out if any restrictions or extra fees apply.
What do you need to rent a car in Dayton?
Any rental company you choose will need these two things — a current driver's licence and a credit card in your name. If you decide to opt out of the supplier's insurance plan, proof of your own coverage will also likely be needed. Read your policy so you know what to bring with you to the rental counter.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Dayton?
Yes, so you won't need to rebook a rental vehicle mid-holiday. Head over to our long-term car rental deals page, enter your trip details and book a ride that's all yours for the length of your escape.
Where can I find a Dayton car rental if I am younger than 25?
You'll need to check the age policy of the Dayton rental providers you're considering. If you're under the age of 25, some will charge additional costs. It's best to know about this ahead of time so you can plan your budget accordingly. Every rental car company has its own terms and conditions for younger drivers, so be sure to do your research.
