Expedia is passionate about making travel easier for everyone, that's why you can reserve your car without paying in advance. With our Book Now Pay Later option, you can just hand over a valid credit card to pay the cost in full at the pickup point. How's that for easy? The rental car company will also place a hold on your credit card for the amount of the deposit. For some cheaper deals online, you may be required to pay at the time of booking. Take note of which payment options are available for the rental car you're interested in.
