What information do we gather and how do we use it?

- Information about your transactions with us, such as the locations, dates and times of your rental pickup and return, your arrival airlines and flight numbers and the rental charges you incur.
Who do we share your personal information with?
Information that you provide us with is used to secure your booking and deliver booking confirmation to you electronically.
