Frequently asked questions

What happens if I need to cancel my Tidewater car reservation?
We realise that things happen and plans change unexpectedly. That's why the majority of prepaid bookings allow for a total refund if you cancel at least six hours before the pickup time. Your rental agreement should have all the information you need. If you can't locate the answer there, our Customer Service Portal is always available.

But they're not your only choice. Go even smaller with an economy model or bigger with an intermediate, a full-size or premium — the choice is yours!
