Southland Car Rentals

We’ve all been faced with times when even our best-laid plans get upended. That’s why we provide a full refund on many bookings if you cancel a minimum of six hours ahead of collecting the car. Don’t forget to double-check your policy — sometimes it’s not offered. Can’t find the details there? Our Customer Service Portal is always here to help.
