Frequently asked questions

Can I rent a car from Piedmont Triad Intl. Airport (GSO)?

What happens if I need to cancel my Madison car reservation?
Our Customer Service Portal has all the details about this. In almost all situations, total refunds are available if a prepaid booking is cancelled at least six hours ahead of the pickup time. Be sure to read the policy to see if there are any exemptions.
What types of cars can I rent in Madison?
Not too small yet not too big, compact cars are the first choice for many visitors to Madison. Offering superb gas mileage and easy parking and handling, they're perfect for zipping around the city. A compact offers slightly more space than an economy vehicle, which means you can get around in a little extra comfort. Prefer a bit more legroom? Check out our standard, intermediate and full-size options.
Where can I go on a road trip from Madison?
Madison is full of surprises, but don't restrict yourself to one place. Arrange a set of wheels and hit the road to explore the wider region. Here are some great options:

  • You'll discover Centre in the Square and loads of other interesting sights in Roanoke. From Madison, it's approximately 97 kilometres away.

How old do you have to be to rent a car in Madison?
Madison requires drivers to be at least 21 to rent a vehicle. However, young drivers will be subject to a surcharge and some restrictions. Most providers impose a young renter fee on top of the usual rental rate. This helps cover the extra risk of accident or damage. While many car categories (like compact and economy) are available to young motorists, restrictions generally apply to luxury and specialty cars.
What do you need to rent a car in Madison?
Before you can take the wheel in Madison, you'll need a valid driver's licence and a credit card in the same name. If you prefer not to take out the company's insurance policy, you may also have to provide proof of other coverage. Requirements may vary, so understand the policy terms and conditions before you choose a rental supplier.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Madison?
Expedia makes it easy to pick up a quality long-term car rental in Madison. Just click through to our long-term car rental deals page, enter your trip details and browse the possibilities.
Where can I find a Madison car rental if I am younger than 25?
Whether or not you can rent a car if you are under 25 years old in Madison often depends on the rental provider you select. Some outlets apply a surcharge for young customers between 21 and 24 years old, but others may not apply any additional costs for this age group. Be sure to understand the terms and conditions of your prospective rental company to avoid unnecessary costs when picking up your keys.
