Frequently asked questions

What happens if I need to cancel my Marlborough car reservation?
We understand that plans change and flexibility is important. That’s why the majority of reservations provide a complete refund if you notify us a minimum of six hours before picking up the car. It’s still good to check the rental policy though as there are some exemptions. If the information isn’t there, click on our Customer Service Portal.

How old do you have to be to rent a car in Marlborough?
Marlborough rules state drivers must be at least 21 to be able to rent a car. However, young drivers can expect an extra charge and some restrictions on choice. Many outlets impose a daily young renter fee on top of the usual car rental rate. This covers the extra risk of damage or accident. While many car classes (like mid-size and compact) are available to young drivers, restrictions usually apply to luxury and specialty cars.
What do you need to rent a car in Marlborough?
The essentials are your driver’s license and a credit card in the same name. Many car rental companies will offer you insurance, which is optional. But you may have to provide proof of other coverage if you choose to opt out. Make sure you check your policy terms and conditions to avoid any hassles.
Can I drive in Marlborough with my U.S. Driver's license?
You can explore the roads of Marlborough with your U.S. Driver’s license. But if you’d like some extra peace of mind, apply for an International Driving Permit before heading off. It’s an additional useful form of identification to have in your wallet.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Marlborough?
Yes, so you won’t need to rebook a rental car halfway through your vacation. Check out our long-term car rental deals page, enter your trip information and lock in a set of wheels to call your own for the duration of your getaway.
Where can I find a Marlborough car rental if I am younger than 25?
You’ll need to check the age policy of the Marlborough rental suppliers you’re considering. If you’re under 25 years old, be mindful that some will charge additional fees. It’s best to know this before arriving at the desk so you can budget accordingly. Every rental car company has its own rules for young drivers, so do your research.
