Kemwel Car Rental FAQs

Our reservations center is staffed with knowledgeable friendly agents ready to help you seven days a week! Please feel free to contact us Monday-Friday 2am-9pm and Saturday-Sunday 8am-4pm on our toll free reservations line 1-877-820-0668 or make a reservation online.

Kemwel accepts both credit and debit cards as payment methods for your prepaid reservation rate. However, most car rental suppliers require a valid credit card in the primary drivers name in order to pick up a rental vehicle. In the event the supplier does accept debit cards the rental would be treated as a cash rental.

Although it is not the norm, Kemwel may sometimes be able to book cash rentals depending on the supplier contracts we have in your desired location. In order to book a cash rental you will be required to take an inclusive rate and payment to Kemwel would still be required prior to departure. At time of pick up you will be required to leave a cash deposit with the supplier, in the form of a charge on your debit card.

If you do not have a credit card, please call us at 1-877-820-0668 to see if a cash rental is possible for your desired rental specifics.

Like all car rental companies, Kemwel cannot guarantee the make or model of the rental vehicle you will receive; what can be guaranteed is the transmission and size of the vehicle. If you would like a specific make or model we will be more the happy to request it for you, however all car rental companies are unlikely to guarantee specific makes or models outside of luxury/specialty vehicles.

At this time we strongly suggest you to visit our driving information section for the country you will be traveling to or our detailed insurance information page as insurance coverage is different from country to country.

If you select a basic rental rate your price will include value added tax (VAT), public liability insurance, fire insurance and unlimited miles. If the inclusive rate is selected it will include everything in the basic rate plus collision damage waiver (CDW) and theft protection for the rental vehicle.

Kemwel does not accept credit card points or airline miles towards car rentals. We strongly suggest for you to check with the car rental company locally when you pick up your rental.

Kemwel gladly accepts American Express, Mastercard and Visa. Personal Checks are also accepted providing you purchase CDW and Theft Protection on your rental. At this time we would like to advise that personal checks are not accepted locally.

All rates are guaranteed in US Dollars and for most reservations we only require a partial pre-payment.

If you do not feel comfortable sending your credit card details by email please visit our secured server for credit card payment or call us toll free at 1-877-820-0668 and one of our reservations agents can take your payment over the phone.

Most reservations are confirmed within 20 minutes after making payment. If making a last minute reservation (pick up within the next 48 hours) we strongly suggest you contact our reservations center toll free at 1-877-820-0668.

There is no fee to change a car rental booking provided that you contact Kemwel before the end of the rental period. All changes must be processed by Kemwel and not through our local car rental suppliers/affiliates. Changing a reservation may subject you to the current rental rate, as it is at the time of modification.

One of the many great things about Kemwel is our rental rates and services are guaranteed to be the very best in the industry. If you come across a lower price from a competitor and the rate is on a comparable vehicle including the same terms, locations, and rental car fees we will be glad to beat the price for you. Please complete our Guaranteed Best Rate form if you have found a better rate with one of our competitors.

So long as a cancellation is made at least 48 hours before your reserved pick up date and time, Kemwel will issue a full refund for the amount of your booking. A fee of $75 will apply to any cancellations made with less than 48 hours notice. Bookings are non-refundable if no notice of cancellation is given until after the reserved pick up date/time. All cancellations must be processed by Kemwel, not our local car rental suppliers/affiliates.
