Frequently asked questions

Can I rent a car from Reading, PA (RDG-Reading Regional)?

What happens if I need to cancel my Palo Alto car reservation?
We've all been faced with times when plans change. That's why we give a full refund on many prepaid rentals if canceled six hours before picking up the car. Remember to double-check the cancellation policy — there are some cases where it's not an option. Can't find the details there? Our Customer Service Portal has more information.
