Yes, typically a physical credit card is required when renting a vehicle. The card must meet the following criteria:

  • Issued in your name.

  • Enabled for international transactions if renting internationally.

  • Valid throughout the entire rental period.

  • Issued by a recognized banking or financial institution.

  • Have sufficient available credit to cover the security deposit hold.

Important Notes:

  • Rental companies generally require the physical presence of the credit card. Digital or prepaid cards are usually not accepted.

  • Some rental companies may accept debit cards but often require a higher deposit.

Always confirm the specific payment and deposit requirements directly with the rental company you have booked. Airport Van Rental is not responsible for unmet rental conditions due to overlooked or misunderstood rental company policies.
