What happens if I need to cancel my Southwest car reservation?
We understand that having a bit of wiggle room is important. That’s why many bookings provide a complete refund if you cancel at least six hours before collecting the car. It’s a good idea to read the cancellation policy though because there are some exemptions. If you can’t find the answer there, head to our Customer Service Portal.

What do you need to rent a car in Southwest?
Before you can road trip around Southwest, you’ll need a valid driver’s license and a credit card. If you decline to take out the rental company’s insurance plan, you may also have to show proof of other coverage. Rules may vary, so read the contract terms and conditions before you select a rental provider.
Can I drive in Southwest with my U.S. Driver's license?
Yes, your valid U.S. License is enough for you to legally drive in Southwest. But if you’re the kind of vacationer who likes to play it safe, get yourself an International Driving Permit. It’s relatively simple to arrange.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Southwest?
Yes, and the awesome news is suppliers often offer lower prices the longer your rental term. Look up our long-term car rental deals in Southwest and cruise away with an amazing bargain.
Where can I find a Southwest car rental if I am younger than 25?
Some Southwest companies will rent cars to drivers under 25 years of age, and others won’t. Age policies differ between suppliers, so be prepared to do your homework. Also, find out if there are any additional costs. Some places will apply a surcharge to young drivers between the ages of 21 and 24. Always check the terms and conditions so you know what to expect.
