Frequently asked questions

What happens if I need to cancel my San Jose car reservation?
We appreciate that plans can change unexpectedly. That's why a large number of prepaid rentals allow for a full refund if you cancel a minimum of six hours before the scheduled collection time. Your rental policy should include all the specifics you need. If you can't locate the answer there, our Customer Service Portal is always available.
