Deem makes it easy to book your car rental. Don’t worry, you can add a flight or hotel to your booking if needed by expanding the sections on the home page.

By default, your car rental search will automatically align with the pickup and drop-off locations, dates, and times based on the flight details you’ve entered in the Flight section of your trip (or trip segment for multi-destination trips).

When booking a car-only reservation please take the following steps:

  1. Close Unneeded Sections: Click the “X” next to the flight or hotel sections if they are automatically expanded and not needed for your car rental search.

  2. Enter Pick-up Location: Search by airport or specific address.

  3. Drop-off Location: This will automatically match the Pick-up Location. If you prefer a one-way drop-off, you can change the Drop-off Location. Note that additional fees may apply for one-way drop-offs.

  4. Enter Dates and Times: Input the Pick-up and Drop-off dates and times.

  5. Click Search to initiate your search.
