Cash Car Rentals in Phoenix, AZ
If you don't have a debit or credit card and need to rent a car with cash, you are likely finding it difficult to find a company willing to help. At Phoenix Car Rental, the absence of a credit or debit card does not automatically disqualify you from renting.
We are one of the few rental car companies in the Phoenix area that accepts cash for both payment and security deposit — making cash car rentals simple and accessible.
What to Know About Cash Car Rentals
No Credit Check Required
Although we don't require a credit check, we will need to know a little more about you. Be prepared to provide your current valid driver's license, current address, a return plane or bus ticket if you are visiting from out of state, and the amount of cash specified by the person quoting you the car rental rate.
Cash Rentals Are Unique
There is an additional surcharge, above the base rate, for utilizing this unique service. Please give us a call today to learn more about the rate, surcharges, and deposit requirements associated with a cash rental.
Securing Your Rental
You can expect to pay the base rate of the vehicle plus taxes and fees. However, because you will not be providing a credit or debit card for security, you will need to have an amount greater than the amount of the rental available in cash, as specified by the person quoting you the rental rate. When you return the rented vehicle, any remaining deposit will be returned to you, also in cash.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I rent a car with cash in Phoenix?
Yes. Phoenix Car Rental is one of the few rental car companies in the Phoenix area that allows you to rent a car with cash. You can use cash for both the rental payment and the security deposit — no credit or debit card is required.
Do you require a credit check for cash rentals?
No, we do not run a credit check. Instead, we ask that you provide a valid driver's license, your current address, and — if you are visiting from out of state — a return plane or bus ticket. This helps us verify your identity and get you on the road quickly.
What do I need to bring for a cash car rental?
Please bring a current, valid driver's license, proof of your current address, a return plane or bus ticket if you are from out of state, and the amount of cash specified by the person quoting your rental rate. The cash amount will cover the rental cost plus a security deposit.
Is there an extra fee for paying with cash?
There is an additional surcharge above the standard base rate for cash rentals. Because this is a unique service that very few rental companies offer, the surcharge helps cover the added risk of not having a card on file. Call us for current rates and a full breakdown of costs.
Where can I find cash car rentals near me?
If you're in the Phoenix metro area, Phoenix Car Rental is conveniently located near Sky Harbor International Airport. We also offer a free shuttle from the airport to our lot. Give us a call at (602) 904-3490 to reserve your cash car rental today.
What happens to my cash deposit when I return the car?
When you return the rented vehicle in good condition, any remaining deposit — the amount above the final rental cost — will be returned to you on the spot, also in cash. There's no waiting for a refund to process back to a card.
At Phoenix Car Rental, we will make every effort to rent to those who cannot qualify elsewhere. That said, final approval is up to the discretion of the rental agent.
