Question 2

What happens if you damage a rental car from Dollar in Queenstown?

Accepted Answer

A credit card is typically required to secure the rental and cover any additional charges, such as tolls, damages, or fuel, that may occur during the rental period.

In some locations, debit cards may be accepted, but they often require additional documentation or a credit check. Always check with Dollar for specific payment policies in Queenstown
