Frequently asked questions
Why not just take the cheapest local lot?
If you drive little and accept an older car with a deductible, it can be cheaper. If you commute daily, need insurance that really covers you, or have no US credit history, the all-in price usually favours us.
Are your prices really all included?
Yes: damage waiver, liability up to $300,000, taxes and unlimited miles. Fuel is the only thing you add.
