Frequently asked questions

What happens if I need to cancel my Albany car reservation?
We understand that having a bit of wiggle room is important. That's why most rentals provide a full refund if you cancel at least six hours in advance of pickup. It's a good idea to read over your agreement though as there are some exceptions. If you can't find the answer there, head to our Customer Service Portal.
What types of cars can I rent in Albany?
Not too small and not too big, compact vehicles are the top pick for many visiting motorists in Albany. Featuring excellent mileage and easy parking and manoeuvrability, they're perfect for dashing around the city. A compact car is slightly roomier than an economy vehicle, so you can get around in a little extra comfort and style. Need a bit more legroom?
