Here you can book from fantastic companies like Dollar, Enterprise and Alamo. If you want some more options, see what's on offer with Thrifty and Fox.
What happens if I need to cancel my San Jose car reservation?

Your itinerary contains information about this, and so does our Customer Service Portal. Not all prepaid reservations qualify for a refund though, so it's a good idea to check the rental agreement.

Compacts, SUVs and full-size vehicles are some other options to choose from.
