Frequently asked questions

What happens if I need to cancel my Elgin car reservation?
Read through your rental agreement to be sure, but the majority of prepaid rentals qualify for a total refund if you let us know more than six hours prior to the collection time. There are some exclusions though. Your itinerary will have more information, or just visit our Customer Service Portal.
What types of cars can I rent in Elgin?
Inexpensive, easy to drive and delivering excellent mileage, it's little wonder compact vehicles are the most popular rental category in Elgin. Tour 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 options. Go even smaller with an economy model or stretch out in a full-size or premium — the choice is all yours!

How old do you have to be to rent a car in Elgin?
In Elgin, the rule is generally 21 years and over. Most companies will charge extra fees for young drivers, which can differ based on the rental location. Rental agreements for young drivers may include restrictions for certain vehicles, such as large cars, and require the purchase of inclusive insurance. Be sure to read the fine print before locking in your ride.
What do you need to rent a car in Elgin?
You'll need to present your driver's licence and a credit card in your name when you get to the rental counter. Before pickup, check with your rental provider whether other documentation is needed. For example, you may also need to show proof of auto insurance.
What side of the road do you drive on in Elgin?
Unlike the U.S, people in Elgin drive on the left-hand side of the road. Having the driver's seat and some controls on the opposite side can also take some getting used to. Spend some time familiarising yourself with the car and its quirks before driving off.

Where can I find an Elgin car rental if I am younger than 25?
Whether or not you can rent a car if you are under 25 years old in Elgin often depends on the rental company you select. Some places apply a surcharge for customers between 21 and 24 years of age, whereas others may not have any additional costs for this age group. Make sure you read the terms and conditions of your prospective car company to escape unnecessary costs at the rental desk.
