What forms of payment are accepted for renting a car?

iSpecial Mobility accepts the following forms of payment:

Credit Cards

Credit cards are accepted at airport and non-airport locations in the East Africa Community partner states.

    VISA®
    MasterCard®
    American Express®

Renters without a ticketed return travel itinerary will need to provide a credit card with sufficient funds to cover the cost of the rental plus an additional amount between $200-$400 based on rental location.

Debit/Check Cards

Debit/check cards are any non-credit cards bearing the VISA or Mastercard® logo. Pre-paid cards or any other non-credit card without one of these logos are not accepted.

At airport locations, debit card deposits are only accepted at the time of rental if accompanied by a ticketed return travel itinerary. The name and address shown on the renter’s driver’s license must match their current home address. Other than the renter’s spouse or domestic partner, no other additional drivers are allowed. At the time of rental, charges will be placed on the debit card which reduces the available funds in the account associated with the card used. Renter is responsible for any overdraft fees incurred. Disembarking passengers will be asked to provide a credit card or debit card with funds to cover the cost of the rental. Renters without a ticketed return travel itinerary will need to provide a credit card with sufficient funds to cover the cost of the rental plus an additional amount between $200 to $400 based on rental location.
