Car Rental at Salt Lake City Airport With No Credit Card
You can rent a car at Salt Lake City Airport with no credit card — you just can't do it at the airport counters. Driver Valley is a local rental company five minutes from SLC, and our whole policy is built the other way: no credit card required, no credit check, ever. Pay with a debit card, Cash App, Venmo, or Chime, put down one flat $50 refundable deposit, and pick your car up at Park N' Jet - Mountain Lot, 2200 W North Temple, Salt Lake City, UT 84116 — with a free shuttle from the terminal.
Why the airport counters turn you away
The national chains at SLC built their deposit system around credit cards: a credit card in the renter's name, a hold of several hundred dollars, and at some counters a credit inquiry before the keys move. Travelers who bank on debit or payment apps — a lot of working people, students, international visitors, and anyone rebuilding credit — find out at the counter, luggage in hand. Our no-credit-check policy exists because your credit score says nothing about how you will treat a car.
How renting at SLC without a credit card works
- Book online before you land. Choose your car and dates at drivervalley.com and pay with a debit card, Cash App, Venmo, Chime, PayPal, or a credit card. Rentals run a two-day minimum.
- One flat deposit. A $50 refundable deposit is charged with your booking — not a several-hundred-dollar hold. Add CDW coverage and the deposit is waived entirely.
- Ride the free shuttle. At the terminal, exit by the Starbucks, turn right to column 10A, and ride The Parking Spot shuttle about five minutes to our lot at Park N' Jet - Mountain Lot, 2200 W North Temple. The step-by-step directions and our SLC airport rental guide cover the arrival in detail.
- Drive. Show your license, sign, and go — most pickups take minutes, not a counter line.
Only have a debit card? That is the most common way our airport renters pay — see renting at SLC Airport with a debit card and our general debit card rental guide for the details.
What you need at pickup
- A valid driver's license — from any US state or your home country (bring a passport or International Driving Permit alongside a non-English license).
- The payment you booked with — debit card, Cash App, Venmo, Chime, or PayPal all work; a card stays on file for the booking, and it does not have to be a credit card.
- Insurance sorted: your own policy or card coverage with proof, or coverage purchased on the website when you book. Insurance follows the driver here.
- To be 18 or older. We rent from 18 with no young-driver fee — the counters mostly require 21+ and surcharge everyone under 25.

Our 39-car fleet covers AWD SUVs for canyon and ski trips, minivans that seat up to 8, everyday sedans, a Honda Ridgeline pickup truck, and a Tesla Model 3. Every rental includes 150 miles per day.
