A payment card isn’t always a deposit card.
A card accepted online may not meet the supplier’s deposit rules. Check the named driver, physical card and available limit before paying.

Add your flight number, then call the desk if you’ll arrive late. Flight tracking alone doesn’t guarantee the car will be held or the counter will stay open.

Take the photos. Get the damage recorded.
Photograph the car and check the condition report. Ask the supplier to record any missing damage before you drive; photos alone aren’t the whole process.

QUICK ANSWERS
Know before
you go.
Practical answers for your next rental.
Do I need to be airline crew?
No. RentalCarsDiscount is for all travellers. You do not need an airline job, crew ID or membership to use this site. Each booking partner and rental offer has its own eligibility requirements.
Coming from AirlineCrewDiscount?
Welcome. RentalCarsDiscount and AirlineCrewDiscount are published by Alomax. Crew can use this public car rental site alongside other travellers. These are public booking options; they do not automatically include a crew discount. For crew offers, visit AirlineCrewDiscount and check the conditions shown there.
Can every visitor book with Sunny Cars?
Do not assume that every offer is available to you. Your country of residence, rental destination and driver details need to fit the specific conditions. An airline job does not remove these requirements. Check whether Sunny Cars suits your trip.
Is the cheapest rental always the best deal?
Compare the total for the same dates, pickup location and car category. Check required extras, payment card rules, the deposit, cancellation and any cover you choose.
Does extra cover mean there is no deposit?
No. Cover, the excess and the security deposit are different things. A supplier may still require a deposit, including when a separate product reimburses eligible damage charges. Read the specific rental conditions.
Where will I make and manage my booking?
On the booking partner’s website. Follow the contact details in your confirmation for booking changes, cancellation and support. RentalCarsDiscount does not take payment or manage the rental.
