Expedia works hard at making travel easier for everyone, that's why you can reserve your car without paying upfront. With our Book Now Pay Later option, you can simply hand over a valid credit card to pay in full at the pickup spot. How's that for stress-free? The car rental company will also place a hold on your credit card for the amount of the deposit. For some cheaper deals, you may be required to pay at the time of booking. Take note of which payment options are available for the vehicle you're interested in.
