If changes occur while in transit but you are unable to modify your booking our partners Avis, Budget and Apex will do their best to accommodate. Please be advised that collecting your vehicle on a date/time other than originally specified on your booking may result in changes to your associated costs.

Extensions to your car rental

If you opted to Pay with Airpoints Dollars this will only apply to the original dates as booked, any extensions will be payable directly to Avis, Budget or Apex by credit card.

Please note that additional rental days will be charged at current rates. For customer service please refer to your car rental booking confirmation email.
