There are a couple of alternative ways to book a car other than using the online reservation procedure:
You can pay with most common credit cards like Visa and Mastercard. A small non-refundable reservation fee of 3 euros applies to all online reservations. When your booking has been confirmed a down payment will be deducted from your account. Please make sure that the amount for the down payment is available on your account. The outstanding remaining balance must be paid in full with a credit card, or cash upon delivery of the rental vehicle.
The credit card used to pay remaining balance must be in the name of the driver. Cash payments are normally accepted. As Universal-Rent-a-Car.com is located in a European Community country the reservation fee and the down payment will be made in Euro currency. The payment of the balance and anything purchased locally will be in the currency of the country where you rent the car. You can select your preferred currency on our web site page but please note that the rates shown are exchange rates of the actual day when the reservation is made and small discrepancies may occur.Most car rental companies require also a credit card guarantee for the rental. The most common amount is 100-500 euros. Higher amount may be applied.
You can book your car without submitting an online payment. Simply choose the pay-on-arrival option when you book your car. Please note that this option is available on select destinations only.
