You can choose from an excellent range of rental car companies within a short commute of the airport. Firefly, Europcar and Budget are popular with many travelers. Hertz and Thrifty Car Rental are a couple of other reliable options.\n
Expedia loves knocking down the barriers to travel, that's why you can reserve your car without paying in advance. With our Book Now Pay Later option, you can simply hand over a valid credit card to pay the cost in full at the pickup location. It doesn't get much easier! The car rental company will also put a hold on your credit card for the amount of the deposit. For some cheaper deals online, you may have to pay at the time of booking. Take note of which payment options are available for the vehicle you're interested in.\n
Our [Customer Service Portal](https://www.expedia.com/service/) has information about this. In nearly all cases, complete refunds are provided if a prepaid rental is canceled more than six hours ahead of pickup. It's a good idea to scan your car's cancellation policy to double-check if there are any exemptions.\n
