Frequently asked questions

What happens if I need to cancel my Petal car reservation?
We get that flexibility while travelling is important. That's why the majority of rentals offer a full refund if cancelled six hours prior to picking up the car. You may want to scan your rental policy though because there are some exceptions. If the information isn't there, head over to our Customer Service Portal.
What types of cars can I rent in Petal?
Cost-effective, easy to handle and good on mileage, it's no surprise that compact cars are the most popular rental category in Petal. Explore this city in one of these and you'll be able to slide into tight parking spaces and easily dart around busy streets. A compact is ideal for city adventures or shorter road trips. But they're not your only options. Go even smaller with an economy ride or stretch out in a full-size or premium — the choice is yours!
Where can I go on a road trip from Petal?
Once you've been to all of the terrific sights in Petal, there's plenty more to discover in the region. Collect the keys to a rental car, stow your bags in the trunk and get out on the open road. We've come up with some road trips we think you'll love:

  • Make tracks to New Orleans for a fantastic sightseeing adventure. About 177 kilometres from Petal, it has lots of inspiring sights like Jackson Square.
  • Around 145 kilometres away, Jackson is also popular with travellers. Set aside time to experience Mississippi State Capitol while you're here. It's one of the reasons people love coming to this thriving city.
  • Visit Tannehill Park to reconnect with nature. Pack a picnic to enjoy or just chill out in the fresh air. From Petal, it's 290 kilometres away.

How do I find the best car rental deals in Petal with Expedia?
Check reviews and ratings, choose your preferred car class and compare offers from leading brands. Expedia makes it a cinch to score the best deal on your rental wheels. Bundle your Petal car rental with hotel or flight bookings and hit the road with extra savings.
How old do you have to be to rent a car in Petal?
In Petal, the requirement is 21 years and over. Most outlets will charge extra fees for young drivers, which can differ based on the rental location. Rental policies for young drivers may include restrictions for certain vehicles, such as specialty cars, and require inclusive insurance to be taken out. Remember to check the fine print before booking your wheels.
What do you need to rent a car in Petal?
Any rental company you select will need these two things — your driver's licence and a credit card in your name. If you decide to opt out of the provider's insurance plan, proof of your own coverage may also be needed. Read your policy thoroughly 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 Petal?
Visit our long-term car rental deals page, enter your preferences and then choose a ride that suits. Whether you're basing yourself in Petal or plan to journey beyond, Expedia will help you find a long-term rental at an excellent rate.
Where can I find a Petal car rental if I am younger than 25?
Whether or not you can rent a vehicle if you are under 25 years old in Petal often depends on the rental supplier you select. Some places have a surcharge for young customers between 21 and 24 years of age, yet others may not have any extra costs for this age bracket. Ensure you understand the terms and conditions of your chosen rental dealer to avoid any nasty surprises on pickup.
