Expedia works hard at making travel accessible for everyone, that's why we offer the flexibility to 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 put 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. Be sure to take note of which payment options are available for your choice of rental car.
