30 - 7 days prior to vehicle pick-up | 20% of rental |

The process for cancelling your reservation due to an emergency is largely the same as a standard cancellation, however additionally you should contact your travel insurance provider to find out their claims process. At time of cancellation, please provide any documents regarding the emergency that you can as these will help DriveNow liaise on your behalf with your vehicle provider to request lenience on the cancellation fees. Terms and conditions accepted at time of booking apply under all circumstances, on some occasions our vehicle providers may offer lenience at their own discretion.
It is recommended all travellers consider purchasing a comprehensive travel insurance policy. If you need any documentation provided for a claim, please email savemore@drivenow.com.au or reply to your booking confirmation email.
