Information
Driver Requirements

For drivers between the age of 21 and 24 years inclusive, a fee of CA$25 per day is applied.
All drivers must hold a valid drivers licence, a valid passport, return ticket and a pre paid voucher.

Additional Drivers
All additional drivers should be requested at the time of booking your car.
A CA$10 per person per day fee will be charged locally for each additional adult.
All drivers are subject to the rental conditions above.
Length of Rental
The rental period is calculated on a 24-hour system; If you pick your car up for 2 days on Monday at noon the rental ends on Wednesday at noon. Late returns will incur an additional hourly charge and will be assessed up to the equivalent of the regular daily local rate and must be paid locally. The minimum length of rental is 2 days.
Prices
The date of pick up determines the whole rental period i.e. If the rental commences on the last date of the peak period, then the peak season price will apply to the entire rental.
Fuel
You are required to purchase a tank of petrol at the time of pick up. The car can then be returned empty. No refunds will be given for unused fuel.
Vehicle Types
Cars are reserved by category only and not by specific make or model. Similar or larger cars may be substituted.
Partially Used Vouchers or No-Shows
Refunds will not be made for partially used vouchers. A no-show penalty fee will be charged on all vehicles.
Driving Restrictions
Vehicles may be driven into any US state or Canadian province but must be returned to the point of origin unless a one-way rental has been pre-arranged. No vehicle may be taken into Mexico.
Vehicles may not be driven on gravel or unpaved roads. If you do drive on such roads your LDW will become void.
Roadside Assistance
Wherever you drive in North America, in the event of an on-the-road mishap, help is just a toll-free call away. With National's Roadside Assistance, they will help or answer any questions as needed.
