Most car rental companies in Rhodes require a credit card as a security deposit, which can be inconvenient for travelers who prefer paying in cash or simply don’t own one. At RhoRent Rent a Car, we do things differently. We believe that every visitor should be able to explore Rhodes freely – even without a credit or debit card. That’s why we offer a simple, fair, and transparent way to rent a car without tying up your finances.
With RhoRent, you can rent a vehicle without a credit card. This option is available for small and medium cars as well as 7–9 seat minivans, where Full Damage Waiver (FDW) insurance is already included in the price. You enjoy the same benefits and peace of mind as every other customer, but without the need to block a deposit on your credit card.
This straightforward policy means that renting a car in Rhodes is accessible to everyone, making your holiday smoother and more enjoyable.

Traditional rental companies prefer credit cards because they can block a large deposit, often between €500 and €1500, as a guarantee against damages. For many travelers, this is stressful and inconvenient, especially when it reduces the available balance on the card. At RhoRent, we avoid this hassle. Instead of blocking a large amount, we rely on our clear insurance coverage and a small refundable cash warranty – keeping the process simple and fair.
Imagine arriving in Rhodes with your family. You want the convenience of a 7-seater minivan, but you don’t own a credit card. With most companies, you would be turned away or asked for a large deposit. With RhoRent, you simply provide €100 cash as a refundable warranty. You drive away fully insured, enjoy your holiday, and receive the €100 back at the end of your rental. It’s that simple.
Do I still get full insurance without a credit card?
Yes. Full Damage Waiver (FDW) is already included for small/medium cars and minivans, whether you pay by card or in cash.
What happens if I extend my rental?
You can extend your booking at any time, subject to availability. The €100 cash warranty remains valid until the car is returned.
Is the no-credit-card option available for all cars?
Currently, this option is available for small and medium cars and 7–9 seat minivans. Luxury vehicles and cabriolets may require a credit card due to higher value.
With RhoRent’s no-credit-card option, you don’t have to worry about blocked deposits or complicated payment rules. You get a modern, well-maintained car, clear insurance coverage, and the freedom to explore Rhodes your way. Whether you plan to visit Lindos, Faliraki, the Old Town, or hidden beaches, renting with RhoRent means starting your holiday with confidence and peace of mind.
