Frequently asked questions

What happens if I need to cancel my Timberlea car reservation?
We get that flexibility while travelling is important. That's why most prepaid bookings offer a full refund if you cancel at least six hours prior to picking up the car. You may want to check your agreement though because there are some exceptions. If there's nothing specified there, head over to our Customer Service Portal.
What types of cars can I rent in Timberlea?
Not too small and not too big, compact vehicles are the number one pick for many visitors to Timberlea. Featuring superb gas mileage and easy handling and parking, they're perfect for exploring the city. A compact is roomier than an economy vehicle, so you can tour around in a little extra comfort and convenience. Want something bigger? Check out our standard, intermediate and full-size options.

How old do you have to be to rent a car in Timberlea?
Anyone with a valid driver's licence 21 and above can rent a vehicle in Timberlea. While some providers may be willing to rent to drivers younger than 21, this will come with additional fees. Find out what ages the young driver surcharge applies to, and associated costs, before locking in your ride. Outlets also restrict the types of cars young drivers can rent. Higher age limits apply for specialty and luxury vehicles.
What do you need to rent a car in Timberlea?
You'll generally require a valid driver's licence and credit card in your name when collecting the vehicle. Proof of coverage may also be required if you'd prefer to opt out of the company's insurance plan. These requirements often differ between rental providers, so it's always wise to check before booking.
What side of the road do you drive on in Timberlea?
Cars drive on the left in Timberlea. This means that the steering wheel and other controls are also on the opposite side to what you're used to. Allow for a bit of extra time to get the hang of your new wheels before setting out.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Timberlea?
Click through to our long-term car rental deals page, enter your trip details and then book a ride that suits. Whether you're stopping in Timberlea or venturing beyond, Expedia will help you find a long-term rental at an amazing rate.
Where can I find a Timberlea car rental if I am younger than 25?
You'll need to look into the age policy of the Timberlea rental providers you're interested in. If you're under 25 years of age, some companies will charge extra costs. It's useful to know about this ahead of time so you can have the funds ready. Each rental car company has its own rules for young drivers, so it'd be wise to do your research.
