Frequently asked questions

What happens if I need to cancel my Lake Placid car reservation?
Our Customer Service Portal has details about cancellations. In the majority of cases, full refunds are provided if a prepaid rental is cancelled more than six hours ahead of the pickup time. It's a good idea to read the policy to double-check if there are any exclusions.
What types of cars can I rent in Lake Placid?
The most sought-after rental vehicle in Lake Placid is an intermediate. It's more comfortable and roomier than a compact car, and has good storage in the trunk. But you'll still be able to drive around busy city streets with ease. Why not take a look at a few more options? Premium, standard and economy are some other rental classes.
Where can I go on a road trip from Lake Placid?
Lake Placid is full of surprises, but don't restrict yourself to one place. Book a set of wheels and hit the open road to see what's in the surrounding area. Here are a few ideas:
  • Make your way to Albany for a fun-filled sightseeing adventure. Approximately 177 kilometres from Lake Placid, it has tons of cool attractions like The Egg.
  • Your next stop? Consider Schenectady, which is around 161 kilometres away. Rivers Casino & Resort is one local draw card you shouldn't miss.
  • Get into nature and take in the serenity at Boston Public Garden. You'll find it around 322 kilometres from Lake Placid.

How old do you have to be to rent a car in Lake Placid?
Anyone with a valid driver's licence aged 21 and over can rent a car in Lake Placid. While some suppliers may be willing to rent to drivers younger than 21, you can expect additional fees. Find out what ages the young renter fee applies to, and associated costs, before you book. Providers also restrict the types of cars available to young drivers. Higher limits are in place for specialty and luxury vehicles.
What do you need to rent a car in Lake Placid?
While booking conditions may differ between car rental outlets, the two key things you'll need are a valid driver's licence and a credit card in the same name. You don't need to take out the company's auto insurance. However, proof of alternative coverage may be required.

Where can I find a Lake Placid car rental if I am younger than 25?
You'll need to look up the age policy of the Lake Placid rental providers you're interested in. If you're under 25 years old, some companies will charge additional costs. It's handy to know this before arriving at the desk so you can tailor your budget accordingly. Every rental car company has its own rules for young drivers, so do your research.
