Frequently asked questions

What happens if I need to cancel my Independence car reservation?
There are always times when even our best-laid plans get upended. That's why we offer your money back on most prepaid reservations if you notify us a minimum of six hours ahead of the pickup time. Remember to double-check your rental policy — there are some cases where it's not offered. Can't find the details there? Our Customer Service Portal has more useful information.
What types of cars can I rent in Independence?
Not too small and not too big, compact cars are the number one pick for many rental customers in Independence.

A compact car offers slightly more room than an economy vehicle, so you can cruise around in a bit more comfort and style. Need a bit more legroom?

Higher limits are in place for large vehicles like premium SUVs and luxury models.
What do you need to rent a car in Independence?
You'll generally require a valid driver's licence and credit card in your name when collecting the vehicle.

Where can I find an Independence car rental if I am younger than 25?
