Can I use my Southwest travel funds for a rental car?
I’m a longtime Southwest customer. I have some unused travel funds after a flight was canceled last month. I’m headed to Miami and will need a car. Am I able to use my Southwest travel funds to rent a car?

I hope you have a great trip to Miami! With Southwest, you can only use travel funds from unused or canceled flights for airfare.
If you’re planning to fly to Miami, you can use your travel funds for the plane ticket, but you’ll need to find another way to pay for your
rental car
.Since you’ve been a Southwest customer for a long time, check your Rapid Rewards balance first. You’re able to use points for rental cars, meaning you may have enough to cover your rental in Miami.
Before you rent a car, make sure you have the right insurance on it as well. If you already have a
car insurance
policy, your coverage should extend to your rental car. If it doesn’t, or you’d like to review your coverage options, use
