At Jittz Car Rental, we know that life doesn’t always end when your rental period does. Whether your plans change or you’re just not ready to return your ride, extending your car rental can be a simple process — if you follow a few best practices upfront. Here’s your go‑to guide for extending your car rental with Jittz Car Rental, making things clear, easy, and smooth.

1. Check Your Original Rental Terms

Before you decide to stay longer, revisit the original rental terms you agreed to at booking. On the Cars page of Jittz Car Rental, you’ll see the standard “Rental Guidelines” which cover basics like:

Age requirement (you must be at least 25 years old)
Insurance requirement (full‑coverage auto insurance required)
Fuel policy (fuel level should be the same as when you received the vehicle)

These rules still apply when you extend your rental.
Tip: If you expect to stay out longer than originally planned, know your pickup time, scheduled return, and whether any fees apply for late returns.

2. Contact Jittz Car Rental Early – Don’t Wait Until the Last Minute

If you realise you’ll need the vehicle beyond your original drop‑off time, reach out to Jittz Car Rental as soon as possible. Jittz Car Rental emphasizes flexible rental terms, so giving a heads‑up early increases the chances that your extension is approved and avoids late‑return fees.

3. Confirm Vehicle Availability for the Extended Period

One reason extensions can be complicated is that your vehicle might be needed by someone else or scheduled for maintenance. Since Jittz Car Rental offers a variety of vehicles … inspected, maintained, and prepared for a smooth pickup experience, it’s wise to confirm if the same car can stay with you or if a swap‑out vehicle is needed.
Tip: Ask if the extension changes the vehicle category or rental class, and how that might affect cost.

4. Review Additional Cost Implications

Extending a rental often means recalculating extra rental days, insurance coverage, and potential rate changes. Jittz Car Rental offers straightforward booking and friendly, responsive support, so ask:

How much extra per day (or hour) will the extension cost?
Will insurance, fuel policy, or other terms change?
Do you need to return the vehicle at the originally scheduled time to extend, or can you keep the same pick‑up/drop‑off arrangement?

5. Keep the Original Return Location & Time in Mind

Changing your drop‑off location can complicate extensions. Jittz Car Rental provides convenient locations like airports, train stations, hotels, and cruise ports.
Tip: Stick to the same return location if possible, or confirm any additional fees for changing it.

6. Ensure All Insurance & Maintenance Terms Are Covered

Since Jittz Car Rental requires full coverage auto insurance for all rentals, make sure:

Your insurance remains valid for the new rental end date.
The vehicle has no scheduled maintenance during the extension.

You don’t want to risk being stranded or incur penalties due to service needs.

7. Confirm Fuel Policy & Mileage Limits

Even with an extension, you’re still under the fuel level policy. Check if the extension affects mileage allowances or fuel requirements.
Tip: Keep fuel receipts if needed and note your odometer reading before returning.

8. Get Written Confirmation of the Extension

Once approved, request a written confirmation (email or booking‑portal update) that states:

New rental end date/time
Any extra charges for the extension
Vehicle return location (unchanged or updated)
All original rental terms still apply

This ensures clarity and protection for both sides.

9. Return the Vehicle on the New Scheduled Date & Time

Adhering to the updated schedule avoids late fees and ensures a smooth experience, consistent with Jittz Car Rental’s commitment to clean, ready-to-drive vehicles and flexible rental terms.
Tip: Set a phone reminder for your new drop-off time and location.

10. Provide Feedback After Your Extension Experience

After your rental, share your experience through Jittz Car Rental’s contact page. Feedback helps them maintain high standards in their fleet of new vehicles and can give insights for future rentals.
