Many international rental companies still require a credit card and place a security hold on your account before you can collect your vehicle. If you’re looking for car rentals that accept debit cards or car rentals that don’t require a credit card, Rentacarslo is a simple alternative.
If you’re looking to rent a car for your trip to North Italy, Slovenia or Croatia, you’ve come to the right place. Rentacarslo is one of the rental car companies that take debit cards, but we go even further.
Payment Methods We Accept
You can pay in the way that’s most convenient for you:
- debit cards
- credit cards
- prepaid cards
- virtual cards
- cash
- Apple Pay & Google Pay
- bank transfer
- or even a bank card issued in another person’s name.
The only payment methods WE DO NOT ACCEPT are cheques and cryptocurrencies.
HOW IT WORKS
Instead of blocking money on your card, we ask for a refundable security deposit, which can be paid in cash or by bank transfer. Cash deposits are returned immediately when the vehicle is returned according to the rental agreement. Deposits paid by bank transfer are refunded to the same account within 3 business days.

Opening Hours
With Rentacarslo, there are no rental desks and no queues. One of our team members will meet you at the agreed time, and the entire vehicle pick-up process usually takes just 5–10 minutes.
Vehicle pick-up and return are included in the rental price when they take place during our regular opening hours, seven days a week from 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM.
If you prefer to collect or return your vehicle outside these hours, for example in the evening or at night, an additional fee applies. The surcharge is calculated automatically during the booking process, so you’ll see the final price before you confirm your reservation. No hidden fees, no surprises when you collect your car.
And if something unexpected happens, you can count on us—we’re available to assist our customers 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Booking Step by Step
Go to the “Vehicles” section and choose the car you like, select the departure point “Venice Marco Polo Airport”, specify the date and desired options (departure and resting place, child seat for children, etc.) and submit the order.
If you have received your booking confirmation and invoice, it means that your vehicle has been reserved and will be available for your selected dates.
We will only contact you in the event of force majeure or if you book a car less than 24 hours before pick-up. In this case, one of our representatives will contact you. Without their confirmation, the booking is not considered confirmed.
To confirm your booking, a 30% advance payment of the total rental price is required. You can pay it by bank transfer, QR code or another agreed payment method within 5 days of the invoice date.
Important: if you cancel your booking less than 5 days (120 hours) before the agreed vehicle pick-up time, or if you do not show up at the agreed time and place without prior notice, the advance payment is non-refundable.
At the appointed time, we will meet you near the parking lot (from the station, turn left towards the parking area up to the arch). The employee will be holding a “RENTACARSLO” sign. If you do not see our representative, please stay where you are. Our staff member will be sure to come get you.
The remaining 70% is paid when you collect the vehicle, using any payment method that is convenient for you. A credit card is not required.
We accept:
- all bank cards (credit, debit and virtual), including cards without the cardholder’s name or cards issued in someone else’s name;
- payment via a secure payment link;
- bank transfer using a QR code (the invoice can be issued to either an individual or a company);
- contactless NFC payments (Tap to Pay);
- cash.
We do not place a hold on your credit card. Instead, a refundable security deposit of €300 (or €800 for drivers under 21 or with less than 2 years’ driving experience) must be left in cash. It will be returned to you immediately when you return the vehicle, provided it is returned clean, on time and in accordance with the rental terms.
If the security deposit is paid by bank transfer, it will be refunded to the same bank account within 3 business days.
Sign the rental agreement and collect your car keys. The entire process usually takes 5–10 minutes. Meet & drive – no rental desk, no queues.
To speed up the paperwork, please send us your passport or ID card details and your driving licence in advance.
