Yes! It is necessary to present a physical credit card that meets the required criteria:
Owns the card;
Name and number printed and legible;
Unblocked for international purchases;
Within the valid period;
Issued by a physical banking institution;
Has an available limit for the security deposit hold.
It is also important to know that:
The approval of the credit card is entirely the responsibility of the rental company. Additionally, there are rental companies that have their own policies regarding the criteria and may request additional data.
Be aware! Although they may seem the same, a financial institution and a banking institution are not the same thing. A bank is a type of financial institution that offers checking accounts and can accept deposits. On the other hand, a financial institution is a broader term that includes credit unions, brokerage firms, lending fintechs, and other companies that are not banks.
Pay attention to these points:
Remember: the card must be physical, containing its numbers. Rental agencies do not accept digital or prepaid cards.
