Searching for a Car Rental

/wiki/spaces/EN/pages/5636103 /wiki/spaces/EN/pages/5636103

The Travel page should already be open, and the Car Rental section for the trip, or for a trip segment in a multi-city trip, should already have a check mark and be expanded for use. If not, see Starting Your Travel Search.

By default, your car rental search will match pickup and drop-off locations, dates, and times to your flight times and destination based on what you have already entered in the Flight section for the trip (or trip segment of a multi-city trip). If you don't want to match your flight times and destination, follow these steps:

1. Click to uncheck the "Match my Car Rental search with my flight times and destination" option in the Car Rental section. Additional fields appear for the car rental pickup and drop-off locations, dates, and times.
2. For the Pick-up Location, click the radio button for one of the following:
   
   • Airport: Enter the airport in the Airport field under the choices. If you already entered information for searching for flights, this field is already filled in for you. Airport is the default choice. 
     Tip: You can click the Airport link to locate an airport by city, state, postal code, address, landmark, or airport code. Enter the information, click Search, and then select an airport and click Select.
   • Address: The Address field appears under the choices. Enter the address for the pickup location.
     Tip: You can click Search tips for tips on searching for an address.
   • Delivery: If your site offers this option (available with service contracts in some countries), you can specify a Delivery location for delivering a car. The Address field appears under the choices. Enter the address for the delivery location; as you start entering the address, choices from previous trips appear in a dropdown menu, and you can select the address from the menu.
3. Click the calendar icon next to the Date field for the Pick-up Location, and click on a date (or enter the date into the field).
4. Choose the time for the Pick-up Location from the Time dropdown menu.
5. For the Drop-off Location, click the radio button for one of the following:
   
   • Airport: Enter the airport in the Airport field under the choices. If you already entered information for Pick-up Location, this field is already filled in for you. Airport is the default choice. 
     Tip: You can click the Airport link to locate an airport by city, state, postal code, address, landmark, or airport code. Enter the information, click Search, and then select an airport and click Select.
   • Address: The Address field appears under the choices. Enter the address for the drop-off location. 
     Tip: You can click Search tips for tips on searching for an address.
   • Collection: If your site offers this option (available with service contracts in some countries), you can specify a Collection location for returning a car. The Address field appears under the choices, already filled in with the delivery address for the Pick-up Location. You can change the address for the collection location by entering a different one. As you start entering the address, choices from previous trips appear in a dropdown menu, and you can select the address from the menu.
6. Click the calendar icon next to the Date field for the Drop-off Location, and click on a date (or enter the date into the field).
7. Choose the time for the Drop-off Location from the Time dropdown menu.
8. Click the Search button at the bottom of the page if all you need is a car rental for a one way or round trip; otherwise, proceed with booking the rest of your trip (see Booking a Trip). For a multi-city trip, start searching for a car rental in the next trip segment below the current one. 

Your car rental search results appear. See Selecting a Car Rental for the next step.
