Common questions
Who do I book and pay with?
Wallacars.com is a comparison site and a CarTrawler affiliate. When you choose a car, you book and pay on CarTrawler's secure booking system. Your rental contract is with the supplier whose car you choose (for example Hertz or Sixt), and you sign it at the desk.
Why are prices often lower than booking direct?
CarTrawler handles very large booking volumes for airlines and travel companies, and suppliers offer it rates that individual customers rarely get. You see those rates side by side for every supplier at your location.
Can I choose the rental company?
Yes. The results show the supplier for every car, along with its rating, location (in terminal or shuttle) and full rental terms.
Can I cancel or change my booking?
Most bookings can be cancelled free of charge up to a deadline before pick-up. The exact deadline is shown on each offer before you book and in your confirmation email. Changes and cancellations are made through Manage booking. Refunds aren't given for unused days once the rental has started.
How much is the deposit?
The deposit is usually equal to the excess, and it's shown in the rental terms of every car. It's blocked, not charged, on the main driver's credit card at pick-up and released after the car is returned. See Deposit and excess explained.
