While digital options are increasingly common, certain requirements remain in place for car rentals with Simba Car Hire.


Digital Driver’s License:


  • Accepted with Conditions: Simba Car Hire accepts Australian-issued digital driver's licenses, but they must be shown through a government-issued application.


  • Physical License Backup: Even if you use a digital version, it’s a good idea to carry your physical driver’s license to prevent any potential issues.


Digital Credit Card:


  • Not Accepted: Although digital credit cards in mobile wallets (like Apple Pay or Google Pay) are popular, Simba Car Hire requires a physical credit card during vehicle pickup for verification.


  • Matching Information: The physical credit card must match the name on the driver’s license and reservation for security reasons.


Key Takeaway: Always bring your physical credit card, and if using a digital driver's license, ensure it's accessible through a government-issued application to guarantee a smooth rental experience.
