How do I make a booking with Rent2Go?

Choose location, dates, and vehicle class, then complete checkout. Your reservation is confirmed once payment authorization is successful.

Can I create an account after booking as a guest?

Yes. You can create an account with the same email and manage future bookings and invoices from the portal.

Can I book for someone else?

The named renter must meet verification and payment requirements. Additional drivers can be added where eligible.

When is my booking considered guaranteed?

A booking is guaranteed once Rent2Go confirms the reservation and required payment/deposit authorization steps are completed.

Why do you take a security deposit?

The deposit secures against unpaid rental amounts, damage, missing items, fines, or contractual fees linked to your hire.

When will my deposit be released?

After return inspection and completion of post-rental checks. Release timing depends on your payment provider.

Can extra charges be applied after I return the vehicle?

Yes, if post-rental items are identified, such as tolls, fines, damage, missing equipment, late return, or excessive cleaning.

Do you support business invoicing?

Yes. Business bookings can use invoicing-compatible workflows and booking references for finance reconciliation.

What documents do I need at pickup?

You may be asked for driving licence, proof of identity, and payment card verification. Requirements can vary by vehicle class.

Can someone else drive the vehicle?

Only approved additional drivers listed on the booking are permitted to drive.

Can Rent2Go refuse a handover?

Yes. Rent2Go can refuse collection if verification, insurer, legal, or payment requirements are not met.

Do van or premium classes have stricter checks?

Some categories carry enhanced eligibility checks due to insurer and risk requirements.

Can I smoke or vape in a Rent2Go vehicle?

No. Smoking and vaping are prohibited and may result in specialist cleaning and downtime charges.

Do I have to return the vehicle with the same fuel level?

Return fuel/charge level rules are shown in your booking terms. If lower than required, refueling/recharging charges may apply.

Can I return the vehicle late?

You should request an extension before return time. Unapproved late returns can trigger extra rental and admin charges.

What happens if I lose a key or fuel card?

Replacement and handling costs are chargeable because these are controlled fleet assets.

What should I do if I have an accident?

Ensure safety first, contact emergency services where required, then notify Rent2Go immediately and provide factual incident details.

Do I need to report minor damage?

Yes. All damage should be reported promptly so the branch can assess roadworthiness and claims handling.

What if the vehicle breaks down?

Stop safely, follow roadside instructions, and contact Rent2Go support. Do not authorize major repairs without approval.

Will I always pay the full repair cost?

Not always. Liability depends on your booked protection, excess terms, and whether any policy breach occurred.

Can I cancel my booking?

Yes, subject to the cancellation window and rate rules shown at checkout and in your confirmation email.

Can I change pickup time or location?

Yes, where availability allows. Price and deposit requirements may update depending on the new booking profile.

What is a no-show?

A no-show is when collection does not occur within the allowed period without an agreed extension or cancellation.

How long do refunds take?

Refund timing depends on payment providers, but approved refunds are initiated promptly after cancellation approval.

Who pays parking tickets and tolls?

The renter is responsible for charges incurred during the hire period, plus any contractual admin handling fees.

Can Rent2Go pass my details to authorities?

Yes, where legally required for road-use enforcement, toll administration, and regulatory compliance.

What is an admin fee for a fine?

It covers processing, evidence handling, and authority communication associated with each notice.

Do low-emission zone charges apply to me?

If incurred during your booking, congestion, clean-air, and similar road-use charges remain the renter's responsibility.

Does Rent2Go use telematics data?

Yes. Vehicle and operational telemetry may be used for safety, theft prevention, billing validation, and incident support.

How is my personal data used?

Data is used to deliver bookings, verify eligibility, comply with legal obligations, and support customer service.

How can I ask a privacy question?

Use the Contact page and select a privacy-related subject so the request is routed correctly.
