Cancelling a Reservation

To cancel, call, text, or email us. Your cancellation is effective when we receive it, and we'll confirm it with you.

  • 24 hours or more before your scheduled pickup or delivery: free cancellation, with a full refund of any rental charges paid.
  • Less than 24 hours before, or a no-show: handled case by case. Contact us as soon as you know your plans have changed.

Changing a Reservation

Need different dates or a different car? Contact us and we'll update your reservation, subject to availability. If you switch to a vehicle or plan with a different rate, the new rate applies.

Extensions & Returns

Extensions are free: you keep the car at your plan's rate. Contact us before your return time. Extensions are subject to availability.

Returning the car early, or running late? Let us know as early as you can. Early and late returns are handled case by case.

If We Need to Cancel

If Echelon cancels your reservation, or your reserved car becomes unavailable for reasons within our control, we'll offer a comparable vehicle. If none works for you, you'll receive a full refund of any rental charges paid.

Security Deposits

Qualified renters pay a $0 security deposit. If a deposit applies to your rental, we'll tell you before you pay, and it's released after the car is returned and inspected, minus any charges from the rental.

How Refunds Are Issued

Refunds are returned to the original form of payment. Depending on your bank or card issuer, it may take several business days to appear on your statement.
