Has anyone used Youtrip card for car rental payments in Australia at the major car rental companies? Would they accept the use of the card for collection of deposits and final payment after returning the car?

The experience will vary greatly depending on practice of the particular vendor.

The YouTrip card presents as a prepaid debit card. Some vendors will refuse to hold deposits on cards of this type as a matter of policy (Hertz comes to mind - see example in link below)

Its best to have a regular credit card on hand for this particular use case (Just for the the pending holds; you can settle with your YouTrip at the end)

I just came back from a trip in Spain and we rented a car from Sixt Car.

I paid using my Youtrip and the deposit was refunded to my card within 48 hours when i returned the car.

Hope this helps

Hi! May I know which cards would you recommend for miles / cashback when using in the states? Or shld I just stick to Youtrip for better exchange rates actually? (Or use Trust card is better?)

Hello! Have anyone used Youtrip in US west coast recently? Wondering if it’s easy to use Youtrip in the states, can I tap the card or need to swipe? (Not sure if need pin?)

For cards with a high MPD earn rate for overseas spending would you recommend using these traditional credit cards, or multi-currency cards like YouTrip and Revolut to save on the FX fees?

I'm a working adult in my 30s and have never owned a credit card. I now realise the usefulness and benefits and would like to take the first step. Can anyone recommend 2 cards and why?
