Frequently asked questions

Can I book now and pay later for my car rental in Southwest?
With Expedia, you can book now and pay nothing for your rental vehicle. That's good news if you're having difficulty paying for reservations upfront (or you simply want more flexibility with payment options). Secure one of our Southwest rental cars and only pay the full cost when you go to pick up your wheels. A hold will also be put on your credit card for the deposit amount. Take note that some cheaper offers may need to be paid at the time of reservation. From compact rides to minivans that'll fit a few friends, we've got options galore. Browse through our vehicle rentals in Southwest and get set for adventure!
What happens if I need to cancel my Southwest car reservation?
Depending on the rental agreement, you may qualify for your money back. Many prepaid reservations give a total refund if you cancel six hours prior to picking up the car. Still have some questions? If you can't find the answer in your itinerary, our Customer Service Portal is always here to help.

What do you need to rent a car in Southwest?
Most rental companies will require two things — your driver's license and credit card. If you decide to opt out of the supplier's insurance plan, proof of other coverage will also likely be needed. Read your policy so you know what to bring when it's time to pick up the keys.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Southwest?
You can, and the terrific news is suppliers often offer lower rates the longer you rent. Look up our long-term car rental deals in Southwest and cruise off with a real bargain.
Where can I find a Southwest car rental if I am younger than 25?
Age policies are different between rental companies, so you'll have to do a bit of homework. Found a Southwest supplier that does rent to drivers under 25 years of age? That's great! Just be aware that an extra charge often applies to drivers between 21 and 24. The fine print of each rental car you're considering should have all the details you need.
