Renting a car in Jordan without a deposit
All rental companies charge a deposit when you rent a car. So renting a car without paying a deposit is not possible. The deposit amount can vary by destination but also by rental car.
Most rental companies choose to charge the deposit to the credit card. But, at a few (local) rental companies, it may be possible to pay the deposit in cash.
Rent a car and pay the deposit with a prepaid credit card (debit card)
If you book online, you can sometimes pay for the rental car with a wire transfer. The deposit will have to be paid on location in almost all cases with a credit card - with a pin code.
Rental companies rarely accept cash as a security deposit. They also usually refuse the following means of payment:
- Debit cards (debit or bank cards);
- Prepaid cards, rechargeable or virtual credit cards;
- Prepaid cards, rechargeable or virtual credit cards.
Sidenote: A prepaid credit card can sometimes be used to book a car online. However, because rental companies do not know how much money is on this credit card, it is not accepted to pay the deposit. Can you find a rental company that accepts the prepaid credit card as payment and for the security deposit? Make sure to read the terms and conditions carefully before signing.
