Do you need a credit card to rent a hotel room?

Yeah, I've almost thought you do...



usually motel / hotel will require credit card, that is incase you ran off, or damage things in the room. than they charge to your card.





Alternatively, you can pay cash, some hotel, require you to pay for room in advance when check in. meaning we you checking for e.g. 3 nigths you pay up front. some might also ask for security deposit, in case you bring home their TV. ha ha!!





but u will sure need a credit card, if you require to book a room in advance before your arrival.

In most cases, yes. Hotels will not accept cash or checks & will not rent you a hotel room unless you have a credit card of any kind. They are also warey of debit cards because they can be used as a credit card but it gets deducted from your checking account.




it depends on the hotel. But usually if you want to make a reservation you need a credit card, but if your just checking in without one you can usually just use cash.




It depends on the hotel/motel, but generally they'll accept cash unless it's absurdly expensive but even then. Ask yourself this question, can you buy a car with just cash? I think so....!




yes you need to have a credit card regardless of how you pay for the room..it's for incedentals




No.
