Car Rental Without Credit Card in Italy

Renting a car in Italy is a convenient way to explore Italian historic cities, picturesque villages, and coastal resorts without being limited by public transportation schedules or tour group itineraries. And not having a credit card shouldn't prevent you from enjoying the travel comfort that a car provides. Payment with debit cards or alternative methods is becoming increasingly popular across the country, making the rental process simpler and car travel more accessible for travelers.

Whether you're arriving at Rome Fiumicino Airport, Milan Malpensa, or planning to start your journey from Sicily's capital, Palermo, you can obtain a vehicle without a credit card in different regions throughout Italy.

Payment Methods Without a Credit Card

When booking a vehicle through Localrent, you pay a deposit with a bank card. Cash payment isn't available at this stage. However, there are different ways to pay the remaining rental cost and security deposit for your car rental in Italy:

The availability of each payment method for car rental without a credit card depends on your chosen Italian city and rental company. Check the information in the specific vehicle listing and use filters to sort results. The system will select offers with suitable payment methods only.
