The long answer
Are you wondering how to rent a car without a credit card? With SIXT, you don't need to worry! Even if you don't have a credit card you can still rent a car. We provide multiple options so you can pay for your car rental with a payment method that works best for you. You can use a debit card at specified SIXT car rental locations depending on whether you are an in-state or out-of-state renter.
Car rental with a debit card
At most SIXT car rental locations, you can rent a car with a debit card. To use your debit card as a car rental payment method, you will be required to meet additional requirements and may be subject to restrictions. Your debit card must be valid at the time of pick-up and issued in the name of the main driver. You will need to show up to two forms of government-issued identification, have sufficient funds available, and meet one of the following criteria:
- Non-local renters can use a debit card, but cannot rent any premium, luxury, or specialty vehicles, except for vans and pickup trucks. The renter must present the return airline ticket/roundtrip flight itinerary upon pick-up.
- Local renters must present an original and current utility bill that matches the name and address on the driver’s license used. Photocopies, printouts, and digital images are not permitted, and these bills must be no more than 30 days old and cannot be past due. Only categories ECAR-FCAR, CFAR, IFAR, SPAR, PPAR, MVAR, FVAR, PVAR can be rented. Debit cards are not accepeted at airport branches.
- International customers, whose debit card is issued in their country of residence, may rent any category vehicle except for Specialty cars. The renter must present the return airline ticket/roundtrip flight itinerary upon pick-up.
