Frequently Asked Questions


We’re one of the few agencies that allow you to rent a car with cash. A deposit is required if you’re paying with cash or with a debit card (varies depending on rental type) and is refundable once you return the vehicle. We also require a copy of your drivers license, proof of insurance or purchase our insurance, and proof of local residency (such as a utility bill).

You pay for your car rental when you pick it up. Please refer to our policies for more detailed information regarding payment options.

When you arrive you will need to show a valid driver’s license. You also must present proof of liability insurance or purchase our liability insurance.
