Pick-Up / Return & Shuttle

See our Pickup Guide.

Q10: After-hours arrangements?

Self-service pick-up/return available where applicable. If changing return time, please contact us early.

Q11: Do you offer delivery/airport handover?

For Greater Los Angeles, long-term rentals may request door-to-door service. Ask customer service for details.

Mileage, Fuel & Tolls

Q12: How is mileage calculated?

As shown on your booking (e.g., Unlimited or 100 miles/day, $1/mile over). Refer to your booking page.

Q13: Fuel & EV charging policy?

Gas cars: full-to-full. EVs: return at similar state of charge. Shortfall is billed at actual top-up cost (no service fee). Some networks charge idle/overstay fees—follow station rules.

Q14: How are tolls/express lanes billed?

Vehicles support plate-based electronic tolling (e.g., FastTrak). We advance tolls/platform fees and settle after return at actual cost without service fee.

Vehicles & Add-Ons

Q15: Do you guarantee a specific model?

Except for economy class, we try to honor specific requests. If fleet logistics prevent it, we provide a similar class/price vehicle or a complimentary upgrade.

Q16: Can I add extra drivers? Child seats?

Yes. Extra drivers must meet the same ID/age/insurance requirements. Child seats available—please reserve in advance.

Q17: Anything special for EVs?

Charge outside peak hours when possible and watch for idle/overstay fees. Return with similar charge to pickup.

Rules & Safety

Q18: Smoking/Pets?

No smoking or vaping—cleaning/deodorizing fees apply if violated. Pet policy per your booking; cleaning fees may apply.

Q19: Cross-state or cross-border?

Interstate travel is generally allowed (see your booking). Mexico/Canada are not permitted. For long trips, please inform us in advance.

Q20: Property safety tips

Do not leave valuables or visible items in the car. Smash-and-grab thefts occur in some areas; personal property is typically not covered by vehicle damage insurance.

Roadside Assistance

Q21: What if the car has an issue on the road?

Please contact our customer service immediately. In the Los Angeles area we partner with AAA for 24/7 roadside assistance (per your plan) and can arrange nearby repair or a replacement vehicle.
