When renting transport, you often have to provide a credit card as a method of payment. We’ll explain to you how to do it without a credit card.
Whether for moving or transporting bulky items – you can often rent vans without a credit card. Although many providers require a credit card for security, there are alternative payment methods you can use. However, there are a few points you should keep in mind.
A credit card serves as security for car rental companies in the event of damage to the rented vehicle or an accident. If damage or an accident occurs, the provider can bill any costs to the credit card on file. In these cases, the card acts as a deposit to minimize financial risks for the rental. This explains why many providers insist on credit card payments. You usually have to pay this as a deposit on site.
You can rent vans from many well-known providers in your area who also rent out smaller vehicles. Find out in advance on the rental car provider’s homepage which payment methods are accepted. Many providers in your area also allow you to pay without a credit card. Check the rental car company’s website to see what payment methods are accepted. Some rental companies now offer payments by invoice, PayPal or debit card. In some cases you can also pay a deposit in cash.
Please note that some rental companies may refuse a booking without a credit card. Therefore, check beforehand which documents are required for the rental. As a rule, you must show a valid ID card or passport and a driver’s license.
