Car rental without a credit card in Spain?


Travel Info
Hi,

Could someone tell me if it is possible to rent a car in Spain for a week without a credit card? Both myself and my partner drives but neither of us has a credit card. Or is there any other way of aquiring a car for the week?

Serious answers only please :)

Thanks!

Hi, I have done that several times, renting with a debit card, visa for example, or prepaying but only one place accepts: Europcar.

You can reserve online for free and also if you register for free too, as a "priviledge client card" and you can choose your payment method.

Also just with a normal Visa or similar debit card, the automatic reservation accepts it, and if you read the terms and conditions of payment of Europcar it says it accepts debit cards as well as other forms of payment.

I always tell them if ocassionally a rental clerck has been difficult that I can leave a cash-debit deposit (usually 300 - 600 鈧?, which they charge directly to your debit card, if lazy clerck tell him to consult with central and they will OK it, especially if you have a reservation number.

You can say you have rented with them often even if its not true since the only keep one updated one year old databanks. If you do not register for the Priviledege card, which you should since its free very much worth it since it allows different flexible ways of payment and very speciall treatment, just show ID and get the key of your rental. If you dont have time enough now you can use it for the future, specially if like me you do not have intentions of getting a credit card. They are absolutelly trustworthy and have always returned the money inmediately as soon as you return the car.

This is the only way and the only company that is flexiblke enough to do it. Besides their cars and rates are some of the best. I can asure you it only worked with Europcar. I am spanish and have rented many times, I hate credit cards and so I have used this system oftenevery time.

Doubleclicking will take you to Europcar site. On the bottom you can choose your closest site or site of your own country from a roll-down window:

This is the only way, I am sure
