Frequently asked questions

What happens if I need to cancel my Kentucky car reservation?
No need to stress. You should receive a total refund if you let us know more than six hours ahead of collecting the car. Your confirmation contains details about this, and so does our Customer Service Portal. Not all prepaid reservations qualify for a refund though, so you may want to go over your policy.
What types of cars can I rent in Kentucky?
Not too small yet not too big, compact cars are the top pick for many visiting motorists in Kentucky. Featuring excellent gas mileage and easy handling and parking, they’re well-suited to dashing around the city. A compact car has more space than an economy vehicle, which means you can get around in a little more comfort. Prefer something bigger? Browse our standard, intermediate and full-size options.
How do I find the best car rental deals in Kentucky with Expedia?
Expedia makes it easy to compare rates, offers and rental companies, and to check customer reviews. Bundle your Kentucky car rental with flight or hotel bookings and you can save even more.
How old do you have to be to rent a car in Kentucky?
Anyone with a valid driver’s license 21 and above can rent a vehicle in Kentucky. While some suppliers may be willing to rent to drivers younger than 21 contracts will come with additional fees. Find out what ages the young renter fee applies to, and associated costs, before reserving your ride. Suppliers also restrict the categories of cars young drivers can rent. Higher age limits apply for large vehicles like premium SUVs and luxury models.
What do you need to rent a car in Kentucky?
Your driver’s license and a credit card in the same name. Opting out of the company’s insurance plan? In that case, you may also require proof of your own coverage. Rules may differ between rental suppliers, so read through your policy.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Kentucky?
Yes. We partner with reputable providers that offer long-term rentals for all types of cars. Pick up one of our long-term car rental deals and explore every corner of Kentucky — or way beyond!
Where can I find a Kentucky car rental if I am younger than 25?
Some Kentucky outlets will rent to drivers under 25 years old, and others won’t. Age policies differ between suppliers, so you’ll have to do some research. Also, find out if there are extra costs. Some outlets will have a surcharge for young customers between 21 and 24. Always read through the terms and conditions so you know what to expect.
