You can use a number of payment methods to book the car, but currently you need to present a credit card when you pick up the car. If you don't provide a credit card at the rental desk, the car rental company reserves the right not to deliver the car, and GoCarRental.com can't be held responsible.

Unfortunately not, GoCar is a return car sharing model meaning wherever you pick the GoCar up from you must return it to that GoBase. This is to ensure that when you make a booking for a GoCar that the car will always be at the allocated GoBase.
