Does Avis accept Chime credit card?
The answer to the question is a bit tricky. According to the official blog, Avis accepts Chime credit cards for payments for their rental services. But not all Avis locations across the USA accept Chime credit builder cards as a method of payment.
When a Twitter user asked if Chime credit builder card can be used for car rentals, the support team of Chime commented and made it clear that Chime credit builder card can be used to rent cars in the USA. But still, there is much more you should know before you proceed.
Avis is one of the rental services in the USA. The car rental service works very similar to Enterprise and Hertz, where users can rent the vehicle of their choice. Avis asks for an advanced payment which covers all the fare and some additional charges on the top.
Users share the details and demands, and they are charged on the basis of their selections of the services. The payments can be made by supported credit, debit cards, and even by cash. But, one must ask the Avis help team if they accept cash in a particular location.
Talking about the eligible credit and debit card. Unlike other rental services, Avis also accepts credit cards along with debit cards. According to the official statement on the Avis support blog, the acceptable cards are –
- Avis Charge Card
- American Express
- AT&T Capital
- China Union Pay
- Diner’s Club International
- Discover
- GE Capital
- JCB
- MasterCard
- Sears
- Visa
The official list of eligible cards supports our answer where we mentioned that Avis accepts Chime credit card. Yes, you can use your Chime credit builder card to make payments to rent Avis services. Chime credit builder card is powered by Visa, which makes it an eligible card for the payment for Avis services.
Some concerned users ask about the same query on subreddits. And in the comments, as you can see below, users have mentioned that they could use their Chime credit builder card to rent a car Enterprise and Avis.
In contrary to the above comment on a Reddit post, another user shared their experience on Faqwalla.com and commented that Avis didn’t accept Chime cards in their usage. You can check out the screengrab of the comment attached below.
Well, there could not be two answers to the same question, right? We dug deep into this matter and asked more Chime users about their experience with Avis. And as expected, we received some mixed answers.
Later, we come to know that the answer to the question actually depends on the location of the Avis. Where some of the locations might accept your Chime credit card, some might refuse to accept it. According to the official list, all Avis locations must accept Chime credit builder cards.
But, the manager of Avis at a particular location has got all the rights to refuse to accept it as a payment method. And that’s why your Chime credit card might not get accepted as a payment method.
