Tours

Answers to the most common questions from our guests

I’ve ordered and haven’t received my tickets - what can I do?

Most of our tickets are confirmed instantly when you purchase. To confirm your order, we send both an email and an SMS message. The SMS message is a back-up in case you ever have trouble accessing the email.

Some tickets require manual handling; during working hours this can lead to a delay of up to one hour. If you booked while the venue was closed, we may only be able to send your ticket once the venue is open.

How can I book for a group?

If you encounter a limitation during checkout that stops you ordering the number of tickets you would like, please be aware that this is imposed by the venue. It is possible to complete multiple orders to finish with your desired number of tickets, but our partner venues generally frown on this and may refuse you entry.

I didn't receive my tickets. What should I do?

If you didn’t receive your tickets within 30 minutes, check for any email communications from us (e.g. payment failed, technical issue, last-minute unavailability) including your Spam/Junk folder. You should have also received an SMS with a link to easily access them via our app.

I did not receive my tickets did my order go through?

98% of our tickets are delivered within 15 minutes; some of them require manual processing and can take up to 30 minutes. Once your tickets are ready, you will be able to access them via the order confirmation page or via the email we sent you. You will also receive an SMS with a link to easily access the tickets via our app.

Cancellation policy

Most of our activities come with a 24-hour free cancellation policy, meaning you can cancel your booking up until 24 hours before the activity starts to receive a full refund.

You’ll find more information regarding your booking’s cancellation policy on your voucher. Your booking will either be fully refundable, partially refundable or non-refundable depending on the activity provider’s policy. All cancelable bookings will display a deadline for cancellation on the voucher.

Cars

Answers to the most common questions from our guests

How old do I need to be to rent a car?

With many rental companies, you must be at least 21 years of age to rent a car, and any driver under 25 may have to pay a Young Driver Fee. Similarly, people aged 70+ may find some companies will charge a Senior Driver Fee, or may not rent to them at all.
So car rental for the under-25s or over-70s can be more expensive – which is one more reason to book with Rentalcars.com, as we work with all the big brands. Just check each car’s terms and conditions to see if your age would make any difference.

Can I book a one-way car rental?

Yes. One-way car rental deals are quite common, as they give people even more freedom to explore and enjoy their rental. However, rental companies will often charge a One Way Fee (or ‘drop charge’) to cover the cost of returning the car to its original location. As the world’s biggest online car rental service, we can help you find a one-way rental car with a low Fee – or no Fee at all.

Do I need rental car insurance – and what is ‘CDW’ anyway?

Before you buy any car rental insurance, you should find out what coverage is provided by your credit card company, your homeowner’s / renter’s policy, and your own car insurance. This will help you decide what cover you need to buy while booking and picking up your car.
CDW means ‘Collision Damage Waiver’; a type of cover that limits your liability for damage to certain parts of a rental car.

How do I find the cheapest car rental deals?

As the world’s biggest online car rental service, we specialize in finding the cheapest car rental deals from major brands such as Hertz, Avis, Alamo, and Budget. Daily, weekly, or monthly car rentals… just fill in our search form to compare deals from different companies – and find out how much you can save when you rent a car from us.
