Cancellation & Changes

Cancellation & Changes

Changes must be requested through Manage Booking or through the booking details shown in your confirmation or voucher.

AutoZone.al does not change bookings directly. Changes are handled by the booking provider or the rental supplier connected to your reservation.

To request a change:

  1. use Manage Booking,
  2. enter the email address and reservation number used for your booking,
  3. follow the instructions shown for your reservation.

Changes are always subject to availability, supplier approval and the terms of your booking. A change may affect the rental price, car group, pick-up details, cancellation rules or refund eligibility.

Before accepting a change, check the updated price, rental conditions and voucher details carefully.

Changing the main driver may be possible, but it is not guaranteed.

To request a main driver change:

  1. use Manage Booking,
  2. enter the email address and reservation number used for your booking,
  3. request the change as early as possible, ideally at least 72 hours before pick-up.

The change depends on supplier approval. The rental price may also change if the new main driver’s age, licence details or rental requirements affect the supplier’s terms.

The main driver usually must:

  • be named on the booking,
  • meet the age and licence requirements,
  • provide the required ID,
  • sign the rental agreement, and
  • present the required payment card for the security deposit.

If the main driver cannot be changed, you may need to cancel and make a new booking in the correct driver’s name.

Do not wait until you arrive at the rental desk. Main driver issues at pick-up can lead to refusal of the rental or no-show treatment.

To cancel a booking, use Manage Booking.

You will usually need:

  • the email address used for the booking, and
  • your reservation number.

Cancellation rules are set by the booking provider and rental supplier, not by AutoZone.al.

Before cancelling, check:

  • the cancellation deadline,
  • whether the booking is refundable,
  • whether a cancellation fee applies,
  • whether Cancellation Protection applies,
  • whether the booking is marked non-refundable.

Only cancel once you understand the refund rules shown for your reservation.

It depends on the cancellation rules shown for your booking.

In the VIPCars booking flow, many part-paid or prepaid rentals are eligible for a 100% refund of prepayment if cancelled at least 48 hours before pick-up, except for non-refundable bookings.

If you cancel with less than 48 hours before pick-up, a cancellation amount such as GBP 30 or equivalent may be retained.

If Cancellation Protection applies to your booking, the free-cancellation window may be reduced from 48 hours to 2 hours before pick-up.

Non-refundable bookings, late cancellations and no-shows may not be refunded.

Always follow the cancellation terms shown during booking and in your confirmation or voucher.

A non-refundable booking means the prepaid amount may not be returned if you cancel, arrive late, fail to collect the car, or do not meet the rental requirements.

Non-refundable conditions are normally shown:

  • during the booking process,
  • in the offer details,
  • in the confirmation email,
  • on the voucher.

Do not choose a non-refundable offer unless your travel dates, pick-up time, driver details and payment card are correct.

If you do not collect the car at the scheduled pick-up time, your booking may be treated as a no-show.

A no-show can happen if you:

  • arrive too late,
  • do not cancel before the required deadline,
  • do not contact the booking provider or rental supplier in time,
  • fail to present the required documents, or
  • cannot provide the required payment card or deposit at the rental desk.

In a no-show case, the car may no longer be held for you and prepaid amounts may not be refunded.

If you know you will be late or cannot collect the car, use Manage Booking as soon as possible or contact the booking provider using the details in your confirmation.

You can usually return the car earlier than planned, but unused rental days are normally not guaranteed to be refundable.

Refunds depend on the booking provider’s terms and the rental supplier’s rules. Once the rental has started, many suppliers do not refund unused days if you return the car early by choice.

If your plans change before pick-up, use Manage Booking to check whether the booking can be amended before the rental starts.

Yes, but only if the rental supplier agrees.

To extend a rental after pick-up, contact the rental supplier directly before your current drop-off time. Their contact details should be shown on your voucher or rental agreement.

Do not keep the car longer without approval.

Unapproved late return can lead to:

  • extra local charges,
  • higher daily rates,
  • late return fees,
  • changes to cover or protection,
  • supplier penalties.

Any extension is handled by the rental supplier under their local terms.

Refunds are handled by the company that processed your booking or payment, not directly by AutoZone.al.

If your booking is eligible for a refund, the amount is usually returned to the original payment method used for the booking.

Refunds can take a few days to appear in your account. Your bank, card provider or payment processor may also affect the timing.

If the refund has not appeared after the expected time:

  1. check with your bank or card provider first,
  2. then contact the booking provider using the details in your confirmation.

In rare cases, the booking provider or rental supplier may cancel a booking.

This can happen if:

  • the car is no longer available,
  • the supplier cannot fulfil the booking,
  • the booking details are incorrect,
  • local rental rules prevent the rental from going ahead,
  • there is a technical or system issue.

If this happens, the booking provider or supplier should explain the available options. This may include an alternative car, a new booking option or a refund of eligible prepaid amounts.

AutoZone.al does not control supplier availability or cancellation decisions.
