Does the pick-up and drop-off location have to be the same?

No. Rental cars booked through Hotwire may be picked up and dropped off at different locations, allowing you to enjoy a one-way trip. We now offer rental cars at both airport and non-airport locations, finding a convenient pick-up and drop-off location is easy. Once you book your rental car your drop-off location cannot be changed.

At this time, Hotwire does not offer international one-way car rentals.
