Frequently asked questions

What happens if I need to cancel my Queenstown car reservation?
We appreciate that plans change and flexibility is important. That's why the majority of prepaid rentals offer a full refund if canceled six hours ahead of the pickup time. It's still good to read your agreement though because there are some exclusions. If the information isn't there, have a look on our Customer Service Portal.
