What happens if I need to cancel my Elgin car reservation?

  • Head off to Charlotte for a fantastic sightseeing experience. About 75 mi from Elgin, it's home to tons of amazing sights such as Bank of America Stadium.

Additionally, most outlets will charge a fee for young renters. Read through the rules carefully before booking and factor any surcharge into your vacation budget.
What do you need to rent a car in Elgin?
Any rental company you choose will ask for these two things — a current driver's license and a credit card in your name. If you decide to opt out of the supplier's insurance plan, proof of your own coverage may also be needed. Read through your policy so you know what to bring with you to the rental counter.

Where can I find an Elgin car rental if I am younger than 25?

Some places apply a surcharge for customers between 21 and 24 years old, however others may not have any additional fees for this age bracket. It'd be smart to go through the terms and conditions of your prospective car company to escape excessive charges when collecting your car.
What insurance should I choose for my car rental in Elgin?
Get your road trip off to a good start by choosing Expedia's collision damage protection. While there are all kinds of rental car insurance, this is one you should have. It provides primary coverage for accident damage, theft and vandalism up to $35,000, as well as 24-hour emergency support. Don't wait until you arrive at the rental desk to insure your ride.
