Our service

Do you rent out cars yourselves?

No. Afordablecarrental.com is an independent booking service. When you send a request, we look for a suitable vehicle among the rental companies we work with and set up the booking for you. That company supplies the car, and you sign its rental agreement at pickup.

Who runs Afordablecarrental.com?

The service is run by Globemansh Solutions (OPC) Pvt Ltd, a company registered in India. Our team works from Agra, India, and arranges bookings with rental companies in the United States, and you collect your vehicle from the US rental company named in your quote. Full company details are on our About page.

Is it free to ask for a quote?

Yes. A request costs nothing and creates no obligation. You pay only after accepting a quote, which explains the amount, who receives it and when it is due.

How soon will I get my quote?

We reply by email, and our team is available 24/7. If you need a vehicle within the next 24 hours, please also call (833) 542-6238 so we can check availability straight away.

Prices and payment

Why isn't there a final price on the website?

Rental prices depend on the pickup location, your dates, the driver's age and what is available. Rather than advertise a low daily rate that climbs at the counter, we email you the total for your exact trip.

What does the quote include?

It lists the base rate, taxes, location charges and any extras you asked for, together with the security deposit amount. Our page on what goes into the price explains each item.

How do I pay?

We never take card details on this website. Your quote lists every payment: the amount, the currency, when it is due and who collects it. Anything we charge is billed by Globemansh Solutions (OPC) Pvt Ltd in Indian rupees (INR), so your bank may convert it and add a foreign transaction fee. The rental company holds the security deposit at pickup, in US dollars. Nothing is charged until you have accepted the quote.

Will there be a security deposit?

Nearly always. At pickup, the rental company holds an amount on your card and lifts the hold once the vehicle is back. How much it holds depends on the company and the class, and your quote shows the figure.

Vehicles

Can I book an exact make and model?

You book a vehicle class, such as a midsize sedan, a 7-seat SUV or a cargo van. If you would like a particular model, add it to your request and we will ask for it, but we cannot promise it. The cars pictured here simply show what each class looks like.

Can you arrange vans for moving or groups?

Yes. You can request cargo vans and passenger vans. Pick "Vans" in the search or choose Cargo Van on the request form, then describe the load or the number of passengers in the notes.

Drivers

What is the minimum age to rent?

Most rental companies accept drivers from 21. Drivers under 25 usually pay an extra daily fee, and some vehicle classes are limited to drivers aged 25 or older. Pick the main driver's age group when you request a quote, and we will show you which options fit.

Can more than one person drive?

Yes. Every extra driver must be listed on the rental agreement and show a valid license at pickup. Some companies charge a per-day fee for each one, and it will appear in your quote.

I live outside the US. Can I still rent?

Usually, yes. Bring the driver's license from your home country and your passport. If the license is not in English, carry an International Driving Permit as well.

Changes and cancellations

What if my plans change?

Until you accept a quote, changing or withdrawing your request is free. Once you accept, the rental company's rules for changes and cancellations apply, and your quote spells them out before you commit. Our Cancellation Policy has the details.

Who do I call if something goes wrong on the road?

For a breakdown or an accident, use the roadside assistance number printed on your rental agreement. Questions about the booking itself can come straight to us at (833) 542-6238 or info@afordablecarrental.com.
