HOW IT WORKS:
How to Rent a Car at Trieste Train Station (Trieste Centrale) without a Credit Card?
Go to the “Vehicles” section and choose the car you like, select the departure point “Trieste Station”, 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 at the parking lot to the left of the station. 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.
At Trieste Centrale, we offer automatic cars from €20 per day.
Meeting point:
No need to look for a rental desk or wait in line. The pick-up point is in the car park to the left of the station on via Flavio Gioia (see photo).
