Frequently asked questions

What happens if I need to cancel my West Coast car reservation?
We know that having a bit of wiggle room is important. That's why many reservations give a total refund if you let us know at least six hours in advance of picking up the car. You may want to check your policy though because there are some exemptions. If you can't see any details there, make your way to our Customer Service Portal.
What types of cars can I rent in West Coast?
Whatever meets your needs! Go for an intermediate or full-size if you're travelling with the family, or scale up to a premium if it's sophistication you're after. Or, choose an economy vehicle — the most booked hire in West Coast. Affordable and with terrific mileage, they're a good match for solo travellers, couples or anyone else who doesn't require a whole lot of room. They're especially suited to city exploring. Getting into cramped parking spots will be a cinch!

How old do you have to be to rent a car in West Coast?
Drivers 21 and above can road trip around West Coast in a hire vehicle. If you're a young motorist, a daily surcharge will apply.

What do you need to rent a car in West Coast?
Generally, all you'll need is a valid driver's license and a credit card in the same name when picking up your car. Proof of coverage may also be required if you choose to opt out of the company's insurance plan. Rules may differ between rental providers, so it's always a good idea to check while booking.
