    CDW is Collision Damage Waiver, PAI is Personal Accident Insurance, TPI is Theft Protection Insurance, VAT is Value Added Tax, and VLF is Vehicle License Fee. Airport taxes are the fees that the airports charge to car companies for the use of their terminals, railroads, and roads; plus other service charges mandated by the airport. Yes, some of these various taxes and charges are mandatory and you should check that they are included in your care rental quote. 
  2. Will I need a credit card in my name to rent a car?
    Yes, the driver will need to present a valid credit card in the driver's name. Debit cards are not accepted. 
  3. How old do I have to be to rent a car?
    Most major car rental companies require renters to be a minimum of 25 years of age. Some car rental companies do allow renters at the minimum age of 18 but there is an increase in the rate of the rental and a deposit is required. 
  4. Do I need a foreign drivers License?
    In most cases your driving license from home will suffice. To be on the safe side an international drivers license will eliminate any unfortunate discussions.
  5. Are car accessories available?
    Many rental agencies offer car accessories such as child seats, ski racks, tape/CD players, etc. You can request these at the time of car rental reservation. Extra charges may apply for these items and they are based on availability. 
  6. Can I modify / change an existing reservation?
    Yes; however, modifications may cause rate changes. Car rental rates can change daily, or even hourly, so changes you make to your reservation after confirmation can affect the original rate. 
  7. Is there a shuttle service to my rental car?
    Many rental agencies offer shuttle service to the car pick up location from the airport. You will need to ask about this service prior to your arrival or check at the airport. 
  8. Will I receive the make/model of car I have reserved?
    Receiving the requested make or model of car depends upon availability at the time of your arrival to pick up the vehicle. We cannot guarantee the make or model you will receive. 
  9. Are there separate rules for local renters?
    Many rental agencies do have additional rules and regulations for local renters or individuals not traveling by plane to their rental destination. Unlimited mileage and additional fees may vary. Contact your rental agency directly when you receive your confirmation number for further details specific to your reservation.
