Why Is a Credit Card Usually Required at Sabiha Gökçen?
Large international companies renting at airport branches usually ask for a credit card and block the deposit on the card limit. The reasons:
Deposit hold: part of the card limit cannot be used during the rental, which can restrict the customer's other spending
Guaranteed collection: any damage cost can be charged to the card
Contract security: the card holder has been verified by the bank
Standard corporate policy: the same rule applied worldwide
This approach leaves out guests who have no credit card or do not want a hold on their limit.
The SAW Rent A Car Difference — A Flexible Payment Policy
SAW Rent A Car has removed the credit card requirement with a corporate contract and cash deposit model — a rare approach in the Turkish market.
How it works:
Booking request — on WhatsApp or by phone; our customer service arranges the no-credit-card option
The booking confirmation is sent by WhatsApp or email
Payment at the Sabiha Gökçen terminal handover in cash, by EFT, bank transfer, Wise or Revolut
Deposit — based on the car segment, in cash or by bank transfer
Refund — the terms for returning the deposit are confirmed by our customer service before the rental
The deposit amount depends on the car class and is shown on each car's card on the booking screen; for rentals without a credit card, our customer service agrees with you how it will be taken.
