Car Rental Without a Credit Card – What You Need to Know
More and more people are looking for ways to rent a car without a credit card. This is especially relevant for younger drivers, students, expats, and tourists visiting Lithuania for a short stay. But is car rental without a credit card really possible? And what should you know before booking?
Can I rent a car with a debit card?
Yes – many rental companies, including Admita, now offer the option to rent a car with a debit card. However, certain conditions usually apply:
- You may be required to choose full insurance coverage, which reduces or eliminates the need for a security deposit
- The debit card must be in your name and have sufficient funds
- Some companies allow the deposit to be held on a debit card if a premium insurance package is selected
What is “no deposit car rental”?
No deposit car rental means you don’t need to block an extra amount as a security guarantee. This is ideal if you don’t want to freeze €500–€1000 on your bank account during the rental period.
This option is usually available when:
- You select Full Coverage or Super CDW insurance
- You rent an economy or mid-size car
Admita offers a flexible approach – check all offers with insurance or consult our team for the best options.
Important things to know when renting without a credit card:
- Not all debit cards are accepted – you’ll need a Visa Debit, Mastercard Debit, or a similar card with your full name clearly visible
- Your card must remain valid for at least 3 months after the rental ends – this helps ensure smooth deposit release or any follow-up charges
- Fintech cards like Monese, N26, or similar may not be accepted as the main payment method – always check in advance
- Booking in advance is highly recommended – this gives time to confirm conditions if you don’t have a credit card
- If you have questions, contact our team by email or phone – we’ll help you clarify accepted payment methods and required documents
What does Admita offer?
- The option to rent a car without a credit card, if full insurance is selected
- No long-term contracts or complicated paperwork
- Availability in Vilnius, Kaunas, Klaipėda, and all major airports
- Clear rental terms and full customer support throughout the process
Bottom line: Yes, car rental without a credit card is possible and easy
Not having a credit card doesn’t mean you can’t rent a car. You just need to understand the rental terms, choose the right insurance package, and book in advance.
