Frequently asked questions

What happens if I need to cancel my The Commons car reservation?
We all have times when even the best-laid plans go wrong. That's why we offer a full refund on the majority of prepaid rentals if you advise us six hours ahead of picking up the car. Remember to double-check your rental policy — there are some cases where it's not offered. Can't find anything there? Our Customer Service Portal is always available to help.
What types of cars can I rent in The Commons?
Economy, premium, full-size ... The choice is all yours! However, compact models are the top pick in The Commons. If you're looking for something affordable and small, but not too small, this category of rental vehicle is a wise choice. Navigating busy streets will be a cinch in one of these. Compact vehicles are slightly more spacious than economy rides and are suited to families on a budget, couples or solo travellers.

How old do you have to be to rent a car in The Commons?
The Commons rules state drivers must be 21 and above to be able to rent a vehicle. However, young drivers can expect a surcharge and some choice restrictions. Many companies impose a young renter fee in addition to the usual rental rate. This helps cover the higher risk of damage or accident. While many car classes (like mid-size and compact) are available to young motorists, restrictions usually apply to premium and specialty cars.
What do you need to rent a car in The Commons?
Be prepared to present your driver's licence and a credit card at the rental counter. Prior to the pickup date, check with your selected rental company whether other documentation is needed. For example, you may also need to show proof of insurance.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in The Commons?
Visit our long-term car rental deals page, enter your trip details and then lock in your perfect ride. Whether you're basing yourself in The Commons or discovering beyond, Expedia will help you find a long-term rental at an incredible rate.
Where can I find a The Commons car rental if I am younger than 25?
Some The Commons providers will rent to drivers under 25 years old, and others won't. Age policies differ between suppliers, so you should do some research. Also, find out if there are extra costs. Some businesses will have a surcharge for customers between 21 and 24. Be sure to read through the terms and conditions so you know what to expect.
