Let's start at the very beginning! Booking a rental car can seem daunting, but it doesn't have to be when you book through Alternative Airlines.
If it is your first time booking with us or would like a small reminder, let us show you just how easy it is. Follow these simple steps:
Be collecting and dropping off your car rental in the USA
Be aged 18 or over (some US states require you to be 21)
Have a valid mobile number and email address
Have a valid credit card at collection
Did you know you have access to multiple ways to pay? 💰
At Alternative Airlines you have the freedom to choose, whether it is upfront in one go or split the cost into instalments.
Every customer has full access to a wide range of buy now pay later lenders such as:
One thing to remember is that by using a payment plan, your first payment is not tied to when you pick up your car. The installments can begin the day you book or up to 30 days later, depending on which option you choose.
The most important thing to remember when collecting your rental car is to bring a credit card that belongs to the named driver. Double check the correct credit card will be used when you book.
You will be required to make a temporary security deposit. This covers any potential accidental damage made to the car whilst it is in your care.
Take photos and a video of the condition of the car (inside and out) before you drive off. If there are any concerns about scratches or dents when the car is returned you can show the condition of the vehicle when you collected it prior.
On the day you collect your car you may be given a list of extras you can add to your booking. It is helpful to be aware of these prior to collection to limit the stress of making decisions on the day.
Stop the cost rising and catch it at your preferred rate!
Prepare for collection day extras:
To ensure you will have a seamless experience collecting your rental vehicle, check your booking and insurance policy before you collect. Confirm your vehicle is the appropriate size for your party and the insurance you have covers the lengths of your trip without the pressure to upgrade.
To save you an extra cost, fill up the tank yourself at a local petrol station before drop off as it will be more affordable than airport prices.
Plans change, that's okay! Whether you paid upfront or are in the middle of a payment plan, you can still cancel before you pick up your car.
Simply follow the link in your confirmation email to cancel online in just a few steps. Alternatively reach out to our customer service team for a refund and someone will help you through the process.
