Do you require reservation fee?

Should I just not bother to “reserve” rental cars anymore? Can I just go to your office and rent a car?
As long as a car is available in the garage, you can rent a car whenever you like. But, as availability of cars might be limited during peak times, we suggest making reservations in advance.
How many days in advance can a reservation be made?
To ensure car availability, we suggest reserving the car at least 3 days before the rental date. Later reservations can still be accepted as long as cars are available.
Will there be a problem if the person who made the reservation is different from the one who will drive the car?
No, persons who will not drive the car can also make the reservation; however, they need to confirm the driver of the vehicle before making the reservation with Ahround Travel and Tours.
Can I modify my reservation?
If you would like to modify your reservation, you must notify Ahround Travel and Tours at least two days before the rental date. Any changes to the reservation are not guaranteed, they are subject to confirmation.

What happens if I arrive late when picking up my booked vehicle?
If you are going to come after the designated pick-up time, kindly make sure to notify the concerned station. The reservation will be canceled one hour after the pick-up/delivery time if Ahround Travel and Tours is not contacted. Furthermore, if the station was not notified of the delay, the car might not be available when it is picked up.
Can I return the car to a different branch or rental station?
Yes, Ahround Travel and Tours offers a one-way service which allows the vehicle to be returned to a different place. Please be aware that depending on how far the rental stations are from the pick-up and return locations, a two-way fee can apply.
Do you offer a one-way rental service?
Yes, this service is available as long as the pick-up and return stations are both operated by Ahround Travel and Tours. Please contact us at the pick-up location for details on the one-way fee. A price simulation may be run to check the amount of the one-way fee.
Do I need to refuel the car when I return it to the main office/garage?
Yes, when returning rented cars to the main office/garage, they must have the same amount of fuel in them as when they were rented. A fuel surcharge set by Ahround Travel and Tours will be charged if a car is returned to them with less fuel than when it was rented.
What should I do if I am unable to return the car with a full tank?
You may return the vehicle to the garage as it is. Please be prepared to pay the refueling fee.
Why do I have to return my car at a set time?
Many rates, like weekend specials, are only available during certain time periods. Returning the car after or even before the designated time might affect the rate quoted. Returning the car by the agreed-upon time also helps ensure that all other customers will have their reserved car available upon their arrival.
If I pick up a car on Tuesday at noon and return it Wednesday at 4 p.m., will I be charged for one day or two?
Ahround Travel and Tours’s car rental rates are based on a 24-hour clock. In this case, you’d be charged for four extra hours or one additional day, whichever is less.
What do I need to keep in mind when returning the rental car?
Please make sure you don’t forget anything inside the car. Ahround Travel and Tours cannot be held responsible for any forgotten items or lost property.
What Payment Methods do you offer?
Apart from cash payments, Ahround Travel and Tours accepts payments through PayPal, Credit Card, Western Union, BPI, BDO, PayMaya, and GCash.
Can I get a refund if I return the car earlier than the scheduled date of return?
No, we cannot issue a refund as we have already reserved the car unit for your entire rental duration and declined other rentals for the unit. For midterm cancellations or returns, please contact the Ahround Travel and Tours station from where you picked up the vehicle before returning it.
When do I have to pay the rental fees?
Upon delivery or pick-up, Ahround Travel and Tours requires full rental payment in cash, by credit card (via a terminal), or through online transfer. If you prefer to pay using digital payment options like PayPal or international transfers, you must complete the payment before the start of your rental period.
What should I do if I get in an accident?
1. If possible, move the vehicle to a safe location to prevent further accidents.
2. Assist all injured parties.
3. Report the accident to the police.
4. Get the details of the other party.
5. Contact Ahround Travel and Tours’s 24/7 Customer Support for assistance and help. Do not negotiate a private settlement on the spot.
Will I get my Security Deposit back and when?
Upon returning the car, if there are no damages, the security deposit will be returned in full. In case of damages to the rented vehicle, return in an unclean condition, cigarette smoke odor, or a lower gasoline level than when the car was released, etc., the expense will be deducted from the security deposit.
What if I return the car earlier or if I would like to extend?
You can return your rented vehicle anytime as early as you like, but there is no refund for unused days because we block a car for your total rental period and reject other potential customers during this period. It is unlikely that we can rent out the car to someone else on short notice.
If you would like to extend your rental, just call or message us. If the car isn’t reserved immediately after your return or in the following days, we are happy to accommodate you. In the worst case, we can exchange the unit for another available one during your desired extension period.
