Frequently asked questions

What happens if I need to cancel my Richmond car reservation?
We get that plans change at the last moment. That's why the majority of prepaid rentals allow for a total refund if you cancel a minimum of six hours before the scheduled collection time. Your cancellation policy should have all the info you need. If you can't find the answer there, our Customer Service Portal is here to help.
What types of cars can I rent in Richmond?
Mini, economy, full-size, premium ... The choice is all yours! However, compact models are the most popular in Richmond. If you'd like something inexpensive and small, but not too small, this category of rental car is the ideal choice. Navigating busy streets will be a cinch in one of these. Compact cars offer slightly more room than economy models and are suited to solo travellers, couples and families on a budget.
