Paying for rental cars

You can pay for rental cars on TravelPerk in 2 ways:

To access pay on arrival rental cars, an Admin needs to update your company's car payment preferences.

All rental cars require a credit card in the driver's name and a driver's license that is valid in the country where they are renting.

Filter by payment options

When searching for a car, you can filter by payment options. Use the Deals and payment filter to select the Payment options you want to see.

Both options provide rental cars for the same price, but some rental companies only offer one payment option.

There are 2 different types of pay on arrival bookings:

Credit card: You'll need to pay for the booking with a credit card when you pick up the car. The credit card must be in the main driver's name.
Direct Billing: The rental company will bill your company directly. This requires an agreement between your company and the rental company. For information, see Set up Direct Billing for rental cars.

For both types, you still need to select the payment profile and method to pay for Premium or Pro fees and any other bookings or extras on the trip.

Pay on arrival bookings are currently excluded from TravelPerk reporting as you pay for them directly with the rental car company.

For US residents making bookings in the US, pay on arrival is the main payment method. If you only see limited car options available, ensure that your company Admin has updated your account's car preferences for pay on arrival bookings.

TravelPerk will charge you for the rental car and pay the rental company on your behalf.

There are 2 different types of pay in advance bookings:

Partial Credit vouchers: Any extras or additional costs such as upgraded insurance, refueling service, navigation systems, tolls or fines must be paid for directly with the rental company.

You'll be asked to provide a credit card in the main driver's name.
Full Credit vouchers: Requires an agreement between your company and TravelPerk. Most extras or additional costs will be billed to TravelPerk and we will charge your company. Some items may still be billed to the driver

You may be asked to provide a credit card in the main driver's name. For more information, see Set up Full Credit vouchers for rental cars.

For US residents making bookings in the US, pay in advance is only available for Sixt. This payment option is mainly available for car bookings in Europe. Ensure that your company Admin has updated your account's car preferences for pay on arrival bookings.
