Frequently asked questions

What happens if I need to cancel my Karlsruhe car reservation?
There are always times when plans are turned on their head. That's why we offer a full refund on most bookings if you cancel a minimum of six hours ahead of collecting the car. Don't forget to double-check the rental agreement — in some cases it's not available. Can't find anything there? Our Customer Service Portal is always available to help.
