We're here to help
Due to the global impact of COVID-19 and the corresponding changes to international travel and border protection policies, we appreciate that many of our customers’ travel plans have been directly affected.
Our team is in close contact with our rental car partners so that we can provide the best available information to our customers as this situation evolves.
Find information about cancellations, how best to contact us, advice from rental car companies and national authorities along with some helpful FAQs. We will be updating this page as more information is available.
Cancelling your booking
All rental car bookings with more than 72 hours before pickup can cancel online for a full refund, with the exception of fully prepaid bookings with Sixt. Note that we are seeing selected rental car partners review their cancellation policies in light of COVID-19 and any changes will be posted to their websites linked below.
To cancel your booking online, click the ‘View Your Itinerary’ link from your confirmation email to access your online voucher. On the voucher page, there is a link under ‘Manage Your Booking’ to cancel your booking online.
Please allow up to 15 working days for this refund to be reflected in your bank account.

How long before I receive a refund?
You should receive your refund within 15 working days. Our team is working to process these as quickly as possible and we appreciate your patience and understanding during this unique time.
Are there any cancellation fees?
If you are cancelling your booking more than 72 hours before the pickup date, there are no cancellation fees. For cancellations within 72 hours, individual car rental companies may charge their own fees. You will need to check with your car rental company directly to confirm what fees they may charge. Selected car rental companies are making special exceptions to their cancellation policies due to COVID-19 and we will honour these where applicable.
Can I get a cancellation fee waived since I have no choice to cancel my travel plans?
Cancellation is free if you cancel at least 72 hours before the pickup date. Within 72 hours, some car rental companies are adjusting their cancellation policies to allow free cancellation anytime before pickup, however you will need to check with your car rental company directly.
Can I still use the rental vehicle if I am quarantined?
We are aware of selected car rental companies that permit this, however you will need to contact your car rental company directly to confirm if this applies to you.
