Baby, child and infant seats are optional extras that must be requested separately, either during online booking or at pickup. The main driver must also present a credit card in their own name for the rental company’s security-deposit authorization; this is separate from the booking payment.

Vehicle Range

Rentcars brings together a broad mix of vehicle types, from one way rentals and minivans to seven seat cars, cargo vans and convertibles. Travelers who want something more unusual can also find luxury exotic cars and electric cars. Pickup and drop off can happen at different locations, which suits journeys that finish in another town or country. The vehicles come from more than 350 rental companies spread across more than 160 countries, so the choice shifts with each destination.

Who Stands Behind Bookings

Rentcars works as an online travel agency and intermediary, so the rental company that supplies the vehicle is responsible for the service itself. The brand is run through two linked businesses, one based in Brazil and one in the Netherlands, which handle bookings for travelers. Its platform has grown into the largest car rental portal in Latin America and reaches customers across many countries. Travelers can rely on a team that helps when issues come up with a reservation, even though the rental partner delivers the car.

Where Pickups Can Happen

Pickup and drop off can take place at airports and city locations across North America, Europe and Latin America. Vehicles can be collected in one town and returned in another, which suits journeys that finish in a different place. Many travelers start from major international airports, and the choice of pickup point shapes which rental partners are available. Planning the route before booking helps match the vehicle to the trip.

Our full take

RentCars is an online car rental booking site at rentcars.com.
