Updated over 5 months ago

At the moment, it’s not possible to change the registered email directly through the website or app. If you need to update this information, you must contact our Customer Service Center.

What happens when you change the registered email?

Changing your email will result in the loss of any cashback amount available in your digital wallet. Since the email address is considered sensitive information, any modification requires a security verification to protect your data.

Why is it important to register the correct email?

  1. The correct email ensures you receive essential information about your booking, such as the voucher and payment link.

  2. It allows you to use the virtual chat properly and access all the features of your account.

  3. It helps avoid issues with bookings made using incorrect emails, which may fail to receive confirmations or necessary documents.

Is it possible to make a booking on behalf of someone else using my registered email?

Warning! If you intend to make a booking on behalf of someone else using the email registered on your account, all bookings will be linked to the last name associated with that email. This may cause difficulties if it becomes necessary to change the booking holder’s details later.


It is important to remember that the booking should always be in the name of the person who owns the Rentcars account, who will also be responsible for picking up the car. This person must present a valid driver’s license, a credit card in their name, and any other documents required by the rental company.


If it is necessary to make a booking on behalf of someone else, it is best to help them create their own Rentcars account and guide them through the registration and booking process. This way, all information will be correct and linked to the person who will actually use the vehicle, avoiding issues at pickup.

Recommendation:

When registering, enter your email carefully, without typos, to avoid issues and ensure that all benefits of your booking are available.
