Holiday Autos online discount codes in 2026

How do I apply Holiday Autos discount codes to my online order?

What is Holiday Autos' FREE cancellation policy and are there any costs for cancelling?

Holiday Autos lets you cancel a car rental for FREE on certain offers up to 48 hours before the scheduled pick-up time. If you cancel inside that 48-hour window, an administration fee of €95 applies. The exact timing for FREE cancellation is shown in your booking terms and on your confirmation voucher, so don’t forget to check that - it tells you whether you can cancel without charge or if the fee will apply.

Does Holiday Autos charge a fee to amend a booking and how much is it if applied?

You can make amendments for FREE up to the same 48-hour cut-off that applies to FREE cancellations on qualifying bookings. Ask for a change after that window and Holiday Autos may charge the administration fee listed in the booking conditions - €95 where specified. Check your confirmation for the exact amendment terms so you know if a late change will incur the stated cost. Top tip: review your voucher right away to avoid surprises.

Are there any credit card or payment processing fees when booking with Holiday Autos?

Holiday Autos doesn’t add credit card or payment processing fees on bookings made through the site - the price shown at checkout is the price to pay. You may still want to check with your card issuer about any bank fees for paying in a foreign currency. This keeps things transparent at the point of payment.

When is payment taken for a Holiday Autos booking?

Payment is usually taken at the time of reservation, and your booking confirmation will show the amount charged. The booking voucher is your proof of payment and lists the rental details the supplier will check at pick-up. Some suppliers may require additional charges or a deposit at the rental desk - these will be clearly stated in your booking information. Make sure you check your confirmation to see what’s been paid and what might still be payable locally.

How much can the car hire excess/deposit be when collecting a vehicle booked via Holiday Autos?

The excess and deposit that a supplier may block on your card varies by supplier, vehicle type and location - and can be as much as €3,000 in some cases. That amount is held on the credit card at pick-up and released once the car is returned without incident, subject to the supplier’s procedures. We recommend checking the excess and insurance details on your confirmation to avoid surprises. If you want to reduce or avoid liability, look at the damage refund insurance options shown on the site.

What cover does Holiday Autos' Damage Refund Insurance provide and what is the maximum amount referenced?

Holiday Autos offers an excess damage refund insurance option that can refund charges of up to €3,000 for damage or theft, subject to the policy terms. To use this cover, the excess funds usually need to be available on the main driver’s credit card at the rental desk. The insurance must be purchased under the stated terms and any claims will require the documentation listed in the policy. It’s designed to reduce the financial risk associated with the supplier excess, up to the indicated maximum.

Does Holiday Autos display the total price and are there any hidden charges to expect?

Prices shown on Holiday Autos are presented as the amount payable through the website and the company says it does not apply hidden charges or card surcharges. Any additional supplier charges - for example traffic fines, fuel or optional extras at the desk - will be outlined in the supplier terms and on your booking voucher. Check the full terms and optional extras before you finalise the booking so you know what’s included in the price shown.

Can Holiday Autos customers receive a paperless voucher and does this affect any cost?

Holiday Autos offers a paperless voucher so you can present your booking on a mobile device at pick-up. Going paperless doesn’t change the booking price and there’s no extra charge for the digital voucher - it’s just a convenient option to speed up collection and cut down on printing. Make sure the voucher details match the supplier’s requirements to avoid delays at collection.

Is 24/7 customer support available and will contacting Holiday Autos incur any fees?

Holiday Autos provides 24/7 customer support and lists international phone numbers for help, with no additional fees stated by the company for contacting support. You may, however, face standard call charges from your own provider depending on the number dialled. Support is available for booking, amendments, cancellations and issues during rental, so help is accessible at any time without a separate Holiday Autos service charge.

How many pickup locations does Holiday Autos compare and does this influence the rental price?

Holiday Autos compares vehicles from more than 30,000 pickup locations worldwide on some pages and states availability across 50,000+ locations on others, depending on regional messaging. The wide range of locations helps you compare options and prices across suppliers for your destination. Differences in pick-up location, supplier and local taxes can influence the final rental price - so use the booking tool to filter by location and make sure the quote reflects your preferred pick-up point.

Are optional extras such as child seats and GPS charged and when are these paid?

Optional extras are usually payable at the rental desk and their availability and cost depend on the supplier and location. If you request extras during reservation, they may be paid locally at pick-up - prices and availability can vary. Your booking confirmation will show whether an extra has been requested and whether payment is due at collection. Check the supplier’s terms to see which extras carry local charges.

Does Holiday Autos allow changes to dates or times on a booking and what are the potential costs?

Holiday Autos allows date and time changes, with FREE amendments up to the FREE amendment window shown in your booking terms - typically up to 48 hours before pick-up. Changes after that period may attract an administration fee as set out in the booking conditions, which can be €95 where specified. Any difference in the supplier’s rental rate for the new dates may also be payable. Consult your confirmation for the precise amendment cut-off and any fees that will apply.

What is Holiday Autos' policy on no-shows and are there associated charges?

Holiday Autos sets out cancellation and no-show terms in its help section and booking conditions; you should check your confirmation for supplier-specific no-show charges. In some cases, a no-show may mean the full rental cost is retained by the supplier or administrative charges are applied. If your plans change, cancel within the FREE cancellation window to avoid those charges. Review the supplier conditions on your booking confirmation to see the exact financial consequences of not collecting the car.

How does Holiday Autos communicate supplier-specific baggage or child-seat rules and any related fees?

Supplier-specific rules for baggage, child seats and legally required equipment are provided in your booking confirmation and in the supplier’s terms linked to the reservation. Any fees for compulsory or optional items will be shown in the supplier’s conditions or will be payable locally at pick-up. Check these details before you travel so you know which items might incur extra local charges - it helps avoid unexpected costs at the rental desk.
