Question 3

Can I rent a car for someone else?

Accepted Answer

A prepaid rental car for someone else is not possible when renting with Dollar. When renting the vehicle at the counter, you must produce the same credit or debit card with which you paid online and a valid driver's license. The credit or debit card used must be in your name and presented at the time of rental. Once proof of this card has been provided, Dollar can accept any other valid credit or debit card in your name at the time of rental for taxes, fees, and incidentals.
