I would like to book a car at the Airport of Alice Springs Australia but I only have a virtual Credit Card or a physical Debit Card, are these suitable to complete the pick up of the car?
Agent
Only a virtual Credit Card is not accepted. You need the physical credit card at pick up as well....BUT, some suppliers at this location do accept Debit Card at time of pick up. You CAN pay online for the rental with your virtual Credit card.
Client
Great, which suppliers?
