What rental companies are doing to keep people safe

In the car—where cleanliness has always been important—companies are now disinfecting cars after every rental, especially high-touch surfaces like seats, gearsticks, door handles, and steering wheels. They're also quarantining any car that may have come into contact with the coronavirus.

The rental industry is also doing everything it can to help customers who need to change an upcoming booking. Find out how to change or cancel your Booking.com car rental.
