Can I book without a credit card?
Yes. When booking online you can use a debit card for the payment. You can also use a card that is not in the same name as the main driver when making payment online.
However, when picking up the rental car the main driver needs to bring a credit card in their own name with enough funds to cover the excess amount. If the main driver cannot present this at the rental desk, the car might not be released. In such cases, no refund will be made. Your rental conditions will outline which credit cards are accepted by the rental agent.
A few rental companies will allow you to rent with a debit card in certain locations. When you make a search for a car online, click the Important Information button on the option you are interested in. In the Payment section under Debit and Credit Card Information, you can see if the rental company will allow you to use a debit card for pick-up. If it does not specify that debit cards are accepted, you will not be able to rent without a credit card in the main driver’s name.
