What drivers license do I need?
The renter and any authorised driver(s) must have a valid drivers' license in their own name, and it must be valid for the entire rental period. International renters or authorised drivers must present a valid drivers' license from their country of origin, and if the drivers' license is in a language other than English, a valid International Drivers Permit must also be presented.

Can I pay using a debit card?
Debit Cards are accepted at most locations when renting an economy, compact, intermediate, standard, full-size, premium car, SUVs and minivans only. Check your specific rental location for any exceptions. Payless will not be responsible for any returned check(s), insufficient fund charges, or bank fees related to this process. Use of a debit card to rent a vehicle may be subject to a review of your credit history. The inquiry will be posted on your credit report and may have an effect on your credit score. If the debit card fails to meet Payless’ debit card criteria, you may either be unable to rent a vehicle or required to present a major credit card in your name to qualify for a rental.
