Car Rental Without a Credit Card

Most car hire companies require a credit card which can be inconvenient for many users, that is why, at Zipcar, we accept payment by either debit card or credit card. Simply, select your preferred payment method, including Monzo, Visa, Mastercard, and American Express for UK car rental. The debit or credit card should match your valid driver’s licence in order to rent a car in advance or at the last-minute. Once your account is approved, use the app to find and book your next Zipcar.
