Frequently asked questions

What happens if I need to cancel my Dorset car reservation?
Depending on your cancellation policy, you may be eligible for a refund. Many reservations offer a full refund if you notify us six hours ahead of picking up the car. Got any queries? If you can't find the answer in your booking details, our Customer Service Portal is always available.
What types of cars can I rent in Dorset?
Busy city streets and cramped parking spots are no match for an economy car — the most commonly booked rental type in Dorset. Slide behind the wheel of one of these and navigate traffic effortlessly. Reliable, affordable and with excellent mileage, these small cars pack a punch. But Dorset can be explored in almost any type of rental you like. Compact, mid-size and full-size vehicles are other options to consider.
Where can I go on a road trip from Dorset?
There's so much to do in Dorset, but head further afield and you'll find even more magic. Rent a set of wheels and you can wander around the greater area at your own pace. Add these awesome drives to your to-do list:

  • You'll find Alerus Centre and lots more amazing sights in Grand Forks. From Dorset, it's about 193 kilometres away.
  • Why not enjoy the best of Fargo too? Notable attractions in this colourful city include Fargodome. Fargo is around 137 kilometres from Dorset.
  • Get out into nature and appreciate the serenity at Voyageurs National Park. It's 225 kilometres from Dorset.

How do I find the best car rental deals in Dorset with Expedia?
Score an amazing deal with Expedia. All you have to do is choose your preferred car type, select your dates and pickup and drop-off points, and compare offers from major brands. Save even more when you combine your Dorset car rental with flight or hotel bookings.
How old do you have to be to rent a car in Dorset?
In most cases, the rules are 21 years of age and over in Dorset. It should be noted that most companies will apply a young renter surcharge. Read the fine print before you book, as different rules may apply between rental car providers. Bear in mind that if you want to rent a specialty vehicle or a large car like a premium SUV, you may need to be older than 21.
What do you need to rent a car in Dorset?
Any rental company you select will need these two things — your driver's licence and a credit card in your name. If you want to opt out of the provider's insurance plan, proof of other coverage may also be needed. Check 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 Dorset?
Yes, so there's no need to rebook a rental car mid-holiday. Click through to our long-term car rental deals page, enter your trip details and reserve a set of wheels to call your own for the length of your break.
Where can I find a Dorset car rental if I am younger than 25?
Age policies are different between rental suppliers, so be prepared to do a bit of homework. Managed to find a Dorset outlet that does rent to under 25s? Awesome! Just take note that a surcharge often applies to drivers aged between 21 and 24. The fine print of each rental car you're considering will have all the information you need.
