Frequently asked questions

What happens if I need to cancel my Montevideo car reservation?
We all have times when plans get upended. That's why we offer a full refund on the majority of prepaid reservations if cancelled at least six hours ahead of picking up the car. Remember to double-check the rental agreement — there are some instances where it's not included. Found nothing there? Our Customer Service Portal is always available to help.
What types of cars can I rent in Montevideo?
From wallet-friendly economy rides to premium cars big on style and performance, you have plenty of choice. But if you're looking for something in between, choose an intermediate vehicle.
