What types of discounts and upgrades are available?

Car rental pricing is like airline pricing - if you travel at off-peak times or make a reservation seven or more days in advance, you often get a better deal.


Can I add additional drivers?

Additional drivers are allowed at most locations, though they must meet the minimum age requirements, present a valid driver's license and credit card, and have a clean driving record. There may be a surcharge for an additional driver. The cost of any surcharge varies from location to location.
