Plans can change, and ITILITE makes it easy to adjust your car rental bookings directly through the platform. This guide will walk you through how to modify your existing car rental, from adjusting dates to selecting a new vehicle.

Prerequisites

To proceed, you need:

  • The car rental booking must be eligible for online modification (i.e., before the car has been picked up, and the Modify Car button is enabled).


Step-by-Step Guide

Follow these steps:

  • Log in to your ITILITE account and navigate to Trips.
  • Find the trip that contains the car rental booking you wish to modify. Click on the trip card to open its details.

  • Within the car rental booking details, locate and click the Modify Car button.
  • On the Edit Trip page, you can adjust various details for your car rental. Update the pickup and drop-off dates and times, locations, or other traveler details as needed.



  • After making your desired changes, click the Modify Car button to search for available vehicles based on your updated criteria.


  • Review the search results and select your preferred car. You will see options with updated prices based on your modifications.


  • On the confirmation page, carefully review all the new booking details, including any price adjustments. Click Confirm selection to finalize your modified booking.


  • Once confirmed, ITILITE will process your modification. You will receive a confirmation email with your updated car rental voucher, and the new booking details will reflect on your Dashboard.


Pro-Tips & Guardrails

NOTE: When you modify a car rental, ITILITE performs an automated rebook-and-cancel process. A new car booking is created, and only after its successful confirmation is the original booking automatically cancelled. Both the new (Confirmed) and old (Cancelled) car bookings will be visible under the same trip on your Dashboard, each with its own voucher. No customer-facing email is sent for the cancellation of the old booking; only the success email for the modified booking is sent.
PRO-TIP: Modifying your car rental booking on ITILITE is free. However, the total cost of your rental may increase or decrease based on current market rates for your selected dates, locations, and car category. You can modify a booking multiple times, provided it remains eligible for online modification.


Verification & FAQs

After a successful modification, check your ITILITE Dashboard for the updated car rental details, and look for a confirmation email with your new voucher.

Q: Who can modify a car rental booking?
A: Only the person who originally created the trip/booking can make a modification.

Q: When can I modify my car rental online?
A: Online modifications are available before the car has been picked up. The Modify Car button is disabled if the pickup time is less than 1 hour from the original booked pickup time. If you are within 1 hour of pickup or have already picked up the vehicle, please contact ITILITE Support for assistance.

Q: What details can I change when modifying a car rental?
A: You can adjust pickup and drop-off dates and times, locations, car category, flight details, and the primary driver's phone number or email address.

Q: What details cannot be changed through self-serve modification?
A: You cannot change the primary driver's name or date of birth once the booking is confirmed. Changes to corporate deal codes or billing IDs are also not possible online.

Q: Will I receive a new voucher after modification?
A: Yes, after a successful modification, you will receive a confirmation email with an updated voucher for your new car rental booking. The old booking will be automatically cancelled in the background, and both the new (Confirmed) and old (Cancelled) bookings will be visible on your Dashboard.
