Cash rentals start with a $200 deposit
When cash is your preferred payment method, a short call before pickup can help you arrive prepared. Tell us the dates you need, the vehicle type you have in mind, and that you plan to pay with cash. We can confirm the details that apply to your rental before you leave home.
Economy Car Rental accepts cash, prepaid and bank debit cards, credit cards, Cash App, Venmo, and Tap to Pay. The cash deposit is $200. If another payment type would work better for your plans, we can explain the deposit requirements for that method too.
The deposit is separate from the rental cost. Confirming the cash deposit before you arrange a ride gives you a chance to ask about the payment details that apply to your plans and arrive knowing what to expect at pickup. That early conversation also gives you time to plan the rest of your day.
Cash rentals can be a practical option when a credit card is not right for your plans. The useful first step is simply to share that preference when you call. That lets the rental conversation start with the payment requirement that matters to you rather than leaving it until you are already at the office.

Pickup preparation
Rental eligibility and vehicle needs guide the pickup plan
- 01
Rental dates and vehicle plans
Share when you need the vehicle and the kind of driving you have planned. A commute, appointments, family travel, or time while your own car is being repaired can call for different space and passenger needs. We can confirm current availability and the payment details to prepare for.
- 02
License, insurance, and age requirements
Bring a valid driver’s license, proof of auto insurance, and your chosen way to pay. Renters must be at least 21 years old. Having those essentials ready helps the rental conversation stay focused on the vehicle and timing you need.
- 03
Vehicle types for passenger and luggage needs
Ask about the available compact cars, SUVs, or minivans based on your passengers, luggage, and plans for the rental. Choosing the vehicle around the driving ahead can help you avoid paying for more space than your plans require.
Payment options
Accepted payment methods and deposit requirements
Cash, Cash App, Chime, and prepaid debit payment types have a $200 deposit. Bank debit cards and credit cards have their own deposit requirements. The payment method you plan to use matters, so let us know before pickup if you are comparing options.
If you use Cash App, Venmo, or Tap to Pay for a current rental payment, include your full name and phone number with the payment. For a new rental, a call before pickup is the clearest way to confirm the requirements for your chosen payment option.
There is no need to decide on a payment method before you understand the details. Call with the option you expect to use, then ask the questions that help you plan for the deposit and the rental itself. If cash is still the best fit, you will know the cash deposit before you travel to the office.
Payment information is one part of the rental conversation. Your dates, driver eligibility, proof of insurance, and vehicle needs also affect what you need to prepare. Bringing those topics into the first call gives you a more complete plan than focusing on payment alone.

Unlimited miles keep the focus on the driving you need to do
Every Economy Car Rental vehicle includes unlimited miles. That can make a rental easier to plan when the week includes a work commute, appointments, family travel, repair-shop visits, or an out-of-town drive. You can focus on the vehicle, timing, and payment plan instead of calculating a mileage allowance for each trip.
Start with the number of passengers, the space you need, and the driving you expect to do. A compact vehicle may suit a solo commute and errands. An SUV may be more useful when you need room for passengers, bags, car seats, or equipment. A minivan can help when more people need to ride together.
Cash payment does not change the value of choosing a vehicle that suits the job. Tell us what you need the rental to handle, then ask about the available vehicle types when you call. A clear conversation before pickup makes it easier to arrive prepared for the rental you actually need.
