Frequently asked questions

What happens if I need to cancel my Albany car reservation?
Our Customer Service Portal has all the info about cancellations. In the majority of cases, total refunds are available if a prepaid booking is cancelled at least six hours before pickup. It's a good idea to scan the rental agreement to see if there are any exceptions.
What types of cars can I rent in Albany?
Inexpensive, a breeze to handle and great on mileage, it's not surprising compact cars are the most booked rental type in Albany. Drive around this city in one of these and you'll be able to slide into tight parking spaces and easily navigate busy streets. A compact is perfect for city escapes 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!
Where can I go on a road trip from Albany?
Albany has plenty to keep you on the move, but don't limit yourself to only one place. Rent some wheels and hit the open road to explore the wider region. Here are some great options we've come up with:

  • New Orleans is around 80 kilometres from Albany. Top-rated tourist attractions like Jackson Square should be high on your list here.
  • Roughly 145 kilometres away, Gulfport is also popular with travellers. Set aside time to check out Gulfport Beach while you're here. It's one of the reasons people love visiting this city.
  • Make tracks to Bellingrath Gardens and Home to discover some local nature. Take a picnic to enjoy or just sit and unwind. From Albany, it's roughly 241 kilometres away.

How do I find the best car rental deals in Albany with Expedia?
Score an amazing deal with Expedia. Simply choose your preferred car type, select your dates and pickup and drop-off locations, and compare offers from all the top rental suppliers. Save even more when you bundle your Albany car rental with flight or hotel bookings.
How old do you have to be to rent a car in Albany?
Rental car rules in Albany require drivers to be 21 and above. Are you a young driver? Surcharges and restrictions may apply. Rental suppliers impose what is known as a young renter surcharge, which is an additional fee to the cost of the rental car. Restrictions usually apply to the types of cars young drivers can rent as well. Age limits may differ between providers, so check before booking.
What do you need to rent a car in Albany?
Most rental companies will require two things — your driver's licence and credit card. If you want to opt out of the supplier's insurance plan, proof of your own coverage may also be needed. Read through your policy so you know what to bring when it's time to collect your wheels.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Albany?
Yes. Expedia partners with reputable providers that offer weekly and monthly rentals for all car types. Snap up one of our long-term car rental deals and explore every inch of Albany — or far beyond!
Where can I find an Albany car rental if I am younger than 25?
Age policies differ between rental companies, so you'll have to do a bit of research. Managed to find an Albany supplier that does rent to under 25s? Awesome! Just bear in mind that extra fees often apply to drivers aged between 21 and 24. The terms and conditions of each rental car you're looking at will have all the information you need.
