Tap‑to‑pay is convenient, but car rentals involve two steps: the booking payment and the security deposit (hold). Wallets like Apple Pay and Google Pay can speed up checkout online, while the hold may still require a physical card at pickup depending on location policy. To keep your day simple, choose well‑connected sites such as JFK car hire for quick terminal‑to‑counter transfers, or build a one‑way plan with returns through Newark car rental if you’ll fly home from New Jersey.

Where digital wallets help most

  • Online booking: Cards saved in Apple Pay/Google Pay typically process normally.
  • At the counter: Some locations accept wallet payments for the final invoice; the refundable deposit often needs your physical card.
  • Fuel & parking: Tap‑to‑pay is widely accepted at gas stations and garages around NYC.

Hola Car Rentals keeps it clear

We show accepted payment methods before you confirm—no fine‑print surprises. You’ll also see included coverage: All‑Inclusive+ with maximum protection on selected itineraries, third‑party liability, and travel insurance up to US$150,000. Eligible bookings can receive cashback on tolls, a welcome perk for bridge and tunnel commutes.

Quick checklist

  • Carry the physical card in your name for the security hold.
  • Enable international transactions and set travel alerts before takeoff.
  • Keep a backup card in case a terminal is offline.
