Rent a car in United States (Las Vegas) paying cash

5/8/2013 2:43:17 PM

As many pointed out the issue is what happens when you leave the parking lot with their car. The car as it stands is liable for all things that happen with its car such as Traffic camera fine, Uncollected tolls, Accidents unless it can reasonably prove who was driving. That’s why most require a credit card, and an ID under the same name. Renting for cash will necessitate some other form of your identification, such as a Utility Bill, which is the case for Las Vegas Cash Car Rentals, and Apex Car Rentals

Generally speaking (although there may well be exceptional circumstances) this is not done practice. Some car rental firms may allow you to partially pay in cash at the end of the rental period, if no damage has been done to the vehicle, but this is not the preferred method of payment. A credit/debit card is required, for the purposes of any damage incurred, but you will not be required to leave it behind with the rental company – the details will just be kept on file, in case any problems arise.

However the possibility does exist (usually by putting down a large cash deposit as outlined in @Gagravarr comments above) and if you really want to pursue this avenue I suggest reading the points outlined in How to Rent a Car With a Cash Deposit or How to Rent a Car With Cash

Update

A couple of days ago I contacted Alamo Rent-a-Car regarding this via

email: [email protected]

There response was:

Dear Simon,

Thank you for your email.

The main driver (payee) has to pay with a credit card in their name.

Kind regards,

Obviously different companies will have different policies regarding this, however this seems to be the general consensus.
