Frequently asked questions

What happens if I need to cancel my West Harbour car reservation?
We understand that plans change and flexibility is important. That's why many prepaid rentals provide a total refund if cancelled at least six hours in advance of the collection time. It's still good to read the policy though as there are some exclusions. If you can't see any details there, click on our Customer Service Portal.
What types of cars can I rent in West Harbour?
Keep costs low with an economy, splash out on a premium ride or choose something in the middle, like a mid-size. But it's hard to beat a compact vehicle — the number one choice in West Harbour. They're a cinch to park and handle, fuel-efficient and an excellent idea if you're road-tripping around busy cities. A step up from economy, you can expect a little more room and comfort at a price that's still affordable.

How old do you have to be to rent a car in West Harbour?

Most providers impose a young renter fee in addition to the standard rental rate. This covers the higher risk of damage or accident. While many car categories (like mid-size and compact) are available to young drivers, restrictions generally apply to specialty cars.
What do you need to rent a car in West Harbour?
A valid driver's licence and a credit card in the same name are necessities. Opting out of the company's insurance plan? If that's the case, you may need proof of your own coverage. Rules may differ between rental suppliers, so read your policy thoroughly.

Where can I find a West Harbour car rental if I am younger than 25?
Whether or not you can rent a vehicle if you're under 25 years in West Harbour often depends on the rental provider you select.
