What happens if I need to cancel my San Carlos car reservation?
We understand that having the freedom to change your plans is important. That's why most bookings offer a complete refund if you let us know a minimum of six hours in advance of pickup. You may want to scan the rental policy though as there are some exclusions. If the info isn't there, click on our Customer Service Portal.

Generally, you'll need a current driver's licence and a credit card in the same name when collecting the keys to your car.

Rules often differ between rental companies, so it's always a good idea to check the terms and conditions.
