Change the dates of a booking
Move the pick-up and return dates before the car is handed over. The new price uses your booking's rate and the difference is shown before you confirm.
Change dates moves your booking without cancelling it: same car, same agency, same add-ons and same insurance, at new dates. Before you confirm, you see the new price and the difference with the current price. Your booking's rate is kept, even if the agency changed its prices since.
When you can change the dates
| Booking status | Change possible |
|---|---|
| Pending, Confirmed (including when an employee is assigned) | Yes |
| Pick-up and later | No: the car is being handed over or has been handed over. Contact the agency. |
| Cancelled | No |
The person who made the booking can change the dates. The agency can also do it for you.

- Choose the New pick-up (date and time) and the New return (date and time).

How the new price is calculated
The new price uses the rate applied on the day you booked: the same price per day, the same discount, the same insurance and the same add-ons, over the new length. A price increase decided by the agency after your booking does not apply.
Example (example values, from Book a car): the 3-day booking at MAD 29 per day, with a 10% duration discount, Standard insurance at MAD 12 per day and GPS at MAD 3 per day, costs MAD 132.43. Moved to 4 days:
| Line | 3 days | 4 days |
|---|---|---|
| Rental | MAD 87.00 | MAD 116.00 |
| Duration discount (10%) | - MAD 8.70 | - MAD 11.60 |
| Insurance upgrade (Standard) | MAD 36.00 | MAD 48.00 |
| Add-on: GPS navigation | MAD 9.00 | MAD 12.00 |
| Taxes and fees | MAD 9.13 | MAD 12.17 |
| Total | MAD 132.43 | MAD 176.57 |
The screen then shows Extra to pay: MAD 44.14. The other way round, shortening the rental shows In your favour with the amount of the decrease. The deposit does not change.
What happens next
- The car is blocked at the new dates and released at the old ones. The handover and the return are rescheduled for the employee.
- If the price changes, your invoice is replaced by an invoice for the new amount. You pay the difference to the agency; an amount in your favour is taken into account by the agency when you pay.
- You and the agency are notified of the date change.
- The free cancellation deadline is recalculated from the new pick-up date. The booking details show the updated terms.
