Orbitz One Way Car Rental FAQ

One-way car rental is the most convenient way to fit a car into your travel plans. It’s often a hassle to drive back to where you started, just to return a car. With a one-way trip you can keep moving in the right direction and drop off your rental car at your new destination. No hunting for buses or paying for taxis—just travelling on the open road, on your terms.


What is a one-way car rental?

You pick up your rental car in one location and return it to another. In other words, you don’t need to return it to the original pick-up place. Ideal for an epic road trip, or when you need to get from A to B and there’s no time to head back again.


Where will I find deals on one-way car rentals?

When you enter your travel details, the site automatically adds drop off in the same place. But you can easily enter a different drop-off location instead, then add your dates and hit search. We’ll show you our latest one-way rental car deals, and you can order them by price to see the cheapest first. Click on a deal to see where you can drop your rental car.


What is the price of a one-way car rental?

With lots of car types, suppliers, and deals, there’s a wide price range for car rentals. That’s why we lock in deals and discounts and make it easy to compare prices. Use the budget filter to see cars that work for your pocket, then order them by price to see the lowest deals first. Some partners charge an additional fee for one-way rental car trips.


For a one-way trip, can I select a specific car type?

Yes, from low-cost and fuel-efficient compact and economy cars to family-sized midrange and full-sized cars with room for luggage—you do you. Premium and luxury cars offer a smooth, top-end driving experience. SUVs, sports cars and convertibles bring fun to your adventures. The choice is yours.


Can I choose from different car rental suppliers when I book a one-way trip?

Many car rental companies let you book one-way journeys, especially the bigger names, like Enterprise, Hertz, and Budget. Of course, you need to drop your car off with the same supplier you picked it up from, but they all have a great selection of deals on one-way rental cars. Just compare and select your favorite.


Where is a great place to visit on a one-way trip?

Rent a car in San Diego and explore gorgeous wineries, sun-kissed deserts, and endless beaches. Then drive two hours north along the ocean road to get to Los Angeles for a stunning one-way drive. Or pick up a car rental in Atlanta, Georgia, and drive one-way to Savannah for a romantic city-to-city road trip packed with Southern hospitality.


Are there free cancellation options on one-way car rentals?

Absolutely. If you see a great rate with free cancellation, go ahead and book it. You won’t pay anything until you collect your car, so cancelling any time before then is easy. Just log in online and go to manage bookings to see how to cancel.

Can I drop my rental car off at a different location enterprise?

At participating Enterprise rental locations, a vehicle can be rented in one location and returned to another; however, please be advised that: Some one way rentals are assessed a one-time drop charge or mileage charge in addition to the rental rate.

Can you return a rental car to a different location in the same city?

Can you rent a car and drop-off at a different location? Yes, you can rent a car and drop it off at a different location.

What happens if you rent a car and drop off different locations?
