The rental company decides which cards it accepts for your exact offer and location. A card accepted during online checkout is not automatically accepted for the rental balance or security deposit at pickup.
Check the rules for your rental company: Each rental company sets its own requirements. Before booking, open Rental Policies for the selected offer. After booking, check the latest voucher. After pickup, follow the signed rental agreement. Some Airport Van Rental screens call the rental company the supplier.
Check the rule before booking
On the selected offer, scroll to Rental Policies and open Rental Car Supplier's Policies and Rules.
Example only. Rental company rules and offer details vary. Read the policies attached to your selected offer.
Open the selected offer's Rental Policies and look for:
Credit- or debit-card eligibility
Accepted card networks
Whether a physical card is required
Whose name must appear on the card
The number of cards allowed
The deposit amount and available-credit requirement
Any chip, PIN, identification, local-renter, or vehicle restrictions
After confirmation, check the voucher again. Before pickup, the Rental Policies and voucher are the authoritative sources for the booking. After pickup, the signed rental-company agreement controls the rental and rental company charges.
Common card requirements to verify
Example only. Read Financial Policy in the supplier rules attached to your selected offer.
Accepted payment methods, authorization amounts, deposit rules, and cardholder requirements vary by rental company and offer.
Depending on the rental company's written rules, the card may need to:
Be presented physically at pickup
Be in the main driver's legal name
Remain valid for the required period
Have enough eligible funds or available credit for the rental balance and deposit
Support the rental company's authorization method
Be presented with the required driver's license and identification
These are possible requirements, not a universal acceptance rule.
If the policy is blank or inconsistent
Do not assume that a general website statement applies. Contact Airport Van Rental before booking if the Rental Policies are blank or if two parts of the offer disagree.
After confirmation, contact the rental company using the details on the voucher and ask about the exact card type, network, and deposit. Request written confirmation of any exception.
The online and pickup transactions are different
An online payment can succeed even when the same card does not meet the rental company's pickup rules. Check both sets of requirements before travel.

Still need help?
Contact Airport Van Rental if the offer, Rental Policies, and voucher do not agree. Contact the rental company for final confirmation of the exact pickup card and deposit requirements. Your bank can confirm available credit or funds but cannot override the rental company's acceptance policy. RentalCover does not set rental company card rules.
