Frequently asked questions

What happens if I need to cancel my Portsmouth car reservation?
We've all been faced with times when even the best-laid plans go wrong. That's why we provide a full refund on many bookings if cancelled a minimum of six hours in advance of the collection time. Be sure to double-check the cancellation policy — there are some instances where it's not offered. Can't find the details there? Our Customer Service Portal has more useful information.

The essentials are your driver's licence and a credit card in the same name. Car rental companies will offer you insurance, which is optional.
