Renting a Car in Istanbul Without a Credit Card: How It Works

Traditional companies place a large hold on your credit card at handover. With us it’s different: a credit card is not required and payment is made at handover.
How does the model work?
You book online, but no online charge is taken. You don’t enter card details. At pickup you pay in cash (Euro/TL) or by card.
What about the deposit?
Depending on the class, a reasonable, pre-stated deposit may be taken; it is fully refunded when the car is returned undamaged.
