Frequently asked questions

What happens if I need to cancel my Cornwall car reservation?
We know that flexibility on the road is important. That's why the majority of rentals offer a total refund if you let us know six hours ahead of the scheduled collection time. You may want to read the agreement though because there are some exemptions. If there's nothing specified there, make your way to our Customer Service Portal.
What types of cars can I rent in Cornwall?
Get behind the wheel of a compact car in Cornwall and you'll be in great company. The most booked type of rental car, these rides are cost-effective, fuel-efficient and a cinch to park. With a compact ride, you'll easily handle the busy city streets. Alternatively, you can think big. Check out our range of larger rental models including intermediate, standard and full-size. However you like to roll, we'll have your ideal ride.
Where can I go on a road trip from Cornwall?
Cornwall offers adventures galore, but don't restrict yourself to only one place. Organise a set of wheels and head off to discover what else awaits in the wider region. Here are a few ideas:

  • You'll find Roger Williams Park Zoo and many more intriguing attractions in Providence. From Cornwall, it's roughly 161 kilometres away.
  • Approximately 56 kilometres away, Hartford is also a favourite with wanderers. Set aside time to experience Mark Twain House & Museum while you're in town. It's one of the reasons people love this city.
  • Get into the great outdoors and appreciate the serenity at Plymouth Rock. It's 225 kilometres from Cornwall.
