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.

Quick checklist
- Carry the physical card in your name for the security hold.
