It is the policy of Excellent Car Rental to have the confirmed vehicle available for a period of up to two hours after the scheduled arrival time with the exception of any reservations confirmed for pickup within the last hour of operation. For those reservations the vehicle will be held for one hour that day and the first hour of operation the following day. It is the customer's responsibility to notify our reservation center at 1-800-582-7432 or the location directly of any delays prior to the time of arrival.
