The Adventure Avenue ("The Adventure Avenue," "we," "us," or "our") understands that travel plans may change. This Refund & Cancellation Policy explains the terms applicable to reservations made through The Adventure Avenue for car rental services in the United States.
Because rental vehicles may be provided through different rental suppliers, locations, and rate programs, the cancellation and refund terms applicable to an individual reservation may vary. The specific terms displayed during the booking process and included in your reservation confirmation will take precedence over the general terms stated below.
Customers may request cancellation of a reservation by contacting The Adventure Avenue through the contact information provided on the website or booking confirmation.
Unless different terms are specifically stated on the reservation confirmation:
Cancellation deadlines are generally based on the local time of the rental pickup location.
For prepaid or Pay Now reservations, payment is collected at the time of booking.
Cancellation fees and refund eligibility depend on the specific rate and rental supplier. Some U.S. rental suppliers charge fixed cancellation fees for prepaid reservations, while others may retain all or part of the prepaid amount for late cancellation or No-Show.
Customers should carefully review the cancellation terms presented before completing payment.
For Pay Later or non-prepaid reservations, cancellation may be permitted without a cancellation fee before the scheduled pickup time, depending on the supplier and rate selected.
Certain guaranteed reservations may be subject to a No-Show fee if the customer fails to cancel before pickup and does not collect the vehicle.
A reservation may be considered a No-Show if the customer:
No-Show charges may result in partial or complete forfeiture of prepaid amounts, depending on the reservation terms.
A refund may not be available if the customer is unable to collect the vehicle because they fail to meet the rental supplier's requirements.
Examples include:
Customers are responsible for reviewing the rental requirements before completing their reservation.
If a customer returns a vehicle before the originally scheduled return date, unused rental days are generally not refundable, unless the applicable rental supplier specifically allows a refund or credit.
Early-return policies may vary by rental company and rate type.
Requests to change the pickup date, pickup time, rental location, vehicle category or rental duration are subject to availability and the applicable supplier's terms.
Changes may result in:
If The Adventure Avenue or its rental supplier is unable to provide the reserved vehicle due to circumstances within the supplier's control, we will make reasonable efforts to provide an alternative vehicle or suitable replacement reservation.
If an appropriate alternative cannot be provided, the customer may be eligible for a refund of the amount paid for the affected reservation.
In circumstances beyond the reasonable control of The Adventure Avenue or the rental supplier, including severe weather, natural disasters, government restrictions, strikes, or other force majeure events, the resolution will be handled according to the applicable supplier's terms. Some rental companies provide refunds for prepaid reservations affected by qualifying events outside their control.
Approved refunds will normally be issued to the original payment method used for the reservation.
Once The Adventure Avenue has initiated an approved refund, the time required for the funds to appear in the customer's account depends on the payment processor, card issuer, bank, and applicable payment network.
Customers should generally allow 5-10 business days after the refund has been processed for the funds to appear in their account.
Where a vehicle is booked through a third-party rental supplier, aggregator, consolidator, or other booking partner, the supplier's cancellation, refund and No-Show terms may apply.
The cancellation conditions applicable to the customer's reservation will be displayed during booking and/or provided in the booking confirmation.
Optional products or services, including insurance-related products, protection packages, GPS/navigation devices, child seats, additional drivers, prepaid fuel, and other extras, may have separate cancellation and refund conditions.
Eligibility for a refund will depend on whether the service has been used and the terms of the supplier providing the service.
If a customer believes that they have been charged incorrectly, charged more than once, or charged for a reservation that was cancelled, they should contact The Adventure Avenue promptly.
We will review the transaction and, where appropriate, coordinate with the rental supplier and payment processor to determine the appropriate resolution.
To request a cancellation or refund, customers should contact The Adventure Avenue and provide:
Cancellation requests are considered effective only when confirmation of the cancellation has been received from The Adventure Avenue or the applicable booking system.
The cancellation and refund terms shown at the time of booking and stated on the customer's reservation confirmation are the controlling terms for that reservation.
Because rental rates, suppliers, locations, vehicle categories and promotional offers may have different conditions, customers should review the applicable cancellation policy carefully before making payment.
The Adventure Avenue reserves the right to update this policy from time to time. Any updated policy will be published on this website and will apply to reservations made after the effective date of the updated policy.
