Frequently asked questions

What happens if I need to cancel my Albany car reservation?
There are always times when plans get upended. That's why we give a full refund on most prepaid rentals if cancelled a minimum of six hours prior to picking up the car. Remember to double-check the rental policy — there are some cases where it's not offered. Can't find the details there? Our Customer Service Portal is always here to help.
What types of cars can I rent in Albany?
Affordably priced, a cinch to handle and with excellent mileage, it's not surprising compact cars are the most commonly booked rental category in Albany. Tour this city in one of these and you'll be able to park in tight spaces and easily navigate traffic. A compact is perfect for city getaways or short road trips. But they're not your only choice. Go even smaller with an economy model or stretch out in an intermediate, a full-size or premium — the choice is yours!
