Frequently asked questions

What happens if I need to cancel my Shime car reservation?
When you cancel at least six hours ahead of collecting the car, many prepaid bookings offer a total refund. However, not all are eligible for this, so it's important to familiarise yourself with the cancellation policy. Look over your booking for the specifics or click through to our Customer Service Portal for more information.
What types of cars can I rent in Shime?
Inexpensive, a breeze to handle and fuel-efficient, it's no surprise that compact cars are the most commonly booked type of rental in Shime. Drive around this city in one of these and you'll be able to park in tight spaces and easily get around busy streets. A compact is ideal for city getaways or shorter road trips. But they're not your only options. Go even smaller with an economy ride or bigger with a full-size or premium — there's a style of vehicle to suit you!
