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