Debit card payment for rental car in Dubai

Answered on: February 18, 2023

Client

I would like to rent a car in Dubai but I am not sure if it is possible with a debit card, could you help me please?

Agent

I see you asked for an email quote using a Debit Card.....I will send you a quote soon. To find out yourself which supplier accepts a Debit Card, use the Card filter at the left hand side of the results page (where you see car photos ):-

Client

I appreciate your help. I am a bit confused. Is a Visa Prepaid credit card a debit card? Or will they refuse to give me the car?

Agent

Does the card have the numbers and your name embossed? If so, it is OK. It cannot be a pre-paid card

Client

It has my name and the card number written into it. But it is not raised.

Agent

This is what Goldcar say about deposit and the cards you can use:-

Client

Thanks a lot. I have a card issued in my name so I suppose it is alright.

Agent

It should be OK, be sure you have enough funds for the security deposit on arrival.

Agent

I see the rate is quiet low because you are looking a long way in advance....

Agent

To secure this rate you might want to book the car now....as you are able to cancel up to 48 hours before pick up, and receive a full refund

Client

Ok, I will take a look at it. Thanks a lot for your advice.
