Can I pay with someone else’s credit card?

For rentals taking place in the UK, you are generally permitted to pay for the rental charges using a credit card that is not in the main driver's name.

However, this is only allowed under strict conditions at the time of vehicle pick-up.

Mandatory Requirements at Pick-Up

Both the Main Driver and the Third-Party Cardholder MUST be present at the rental counter when collecting the vehicle.

Party	Action / Requirement
The Main Driver	The booking must be made in the main driver's name.
The Cardholder	Must present the physical payment card used for the booking.
The Cardholder	Must provide a proof of address (e.g., a recent utility bill or bank statement) to verify their identity.
Deposit	Crucially: Even if a third-party card is used for the rental payment, a separate payment method (preferably a credit card) in the main driver's name may still be required to secure the mandatory security deposit.
