What do I need to pick up the car?
In the great majority of cases, the following needs to be presented at the rental desk:
- Credit card with enough funds to cover the excess (debit cards usually not accepted).
- A full valid licence held for a minimum of one year (some suppliers require longer, please check your terms and conditions).
- Additional photo ID.
- Your booking voucher.
- Any other documentation specified on your booking voucher.
There can be some differences in documentation required based on where you are renting and which supplier you are renting with. For example, UK customers renting in the UK almost always need to bring proof of address in addition to the above. Make sure to check your rental conditions for your specific rental. All required documentation needs to be in the main driver’s name.
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.
