Can I return my rental car to a different location?

Asked 5 months ago
Yes, it is often possible to return a rental car to a different location than where it was picked up. This option, known as a one-way rental, is available through many rental car companies, including those listed on CarRentals.com. However, it is important to note that one-way rentals can sometimes incur additional fees or restrictions depending on the rental company, the distance between locations, and the terms of your reservation. When making a reservation through CarRentals.com, users have the opportunity to specify their pick-up and drop-off locations, ensuring that they can choose a different return location if it is permitted. It is advisable to carefully review the terms and conditions related to one-way rentals during the booking process. If you have specific questions about a particular rental or need clarification on fees, it is beneficial to check the current web page for more detailed information or contact the customer service of the rental company you are considering.
