Frequently asked questions

What happens if I need to cancel my Southwest car reservation?
Our Customer Service Portal has all the details about this. In nearly all cases, total refunds are provided if a booking is cancelled at least six hours before the arranged pickup time. It's a good idea to read your policy to see if there are any exemptions.
What types of cars can I rent in Southwest?
Whatever meets your needs! Go for a mid-size or full-size if you're travelling with the family, or scale up to a premium for sleek sophistication. Or, choose an economy vehicle — the most popular rental in Southwest. Affordable and with excellent mileage, they're ideal for solo travellers, couples or anyone else who doesn't require a large amount of space. They're particularly suited to exploring cities. Slipping into cramped parking spots will be a walk in the park!

How old do you have to be to rent a car in Southwest?
You need to be at least 21 to slide behind the wheel of a rental car in Southwest. Bear in mind that young drivers may only be able to rent from a few car categories, such as compact and economy.

Where can I find a Southwest car rental if I am younger than 25?
This will depend on the car rental companies that are in Southwest. They often have different age policies. If you've found a supplier that does cater to drivers under 25 years of age, bear in mind that extra costs may apply. Conduct some research into any extra charges before you collect the car.
