Frequently asked questions

What happens if I need to cancel my Raleigh car reservation?
We get that plans can change at short notice. That's why most bookings offer a refund if you cancel at least six hours before pickup. Your cancellation policy should have all the info you need. If you can't see the answer there, our Customer Service Portal is here to help.
What types of cars can I rent in Raleigh?
Economical, a breeze to handle and good on mileage, it's no wonder compact vehicles are the most in-demand rental category in Raleigh. Drive around this city in one of these and you'll be able to slide into tight parking spaces and easily get around busy streets. A compact is perfect for city breaks or shorter road trips. But they're not your only options. Go even smaller with an economy ride or stretch out in a full-size or premium --- the choice is yours!
