Expedia is passionate about knocking down the barriers to travel, that's why you can reserve your rental car without paying upfront. With our Book Now Pay Later option, you can simply hand over a valid credit card to pay the cost in full at the pickup spot. How's that for easy? The car rental company will also place a hold on your credit card for the amount of the deposit. For some cheaper deals online, you may have to pay at the time of booking. Take note of which payment options are available for your choice of rental car.
