Hello all.
I have recently arrived in Bahrain and have got to the stage where the company I am using to hire a car (Budget) are asking for a credit card in order to carry on my monthly rental service.
First of all what do I need to obtain a credit card? (CPR card, passport etc)
Secondly I have never had a credit card so abit lost on which one I should go for, is there one which I can have but as long as I didn't use it I wouldn't get charged anything? As I don't really like spending money that isn't mine.
Thirdly, which bank offers this or if they will all charge me which is the least.
From what I understand a credit card is borrowed money that at the end of the month whatever I have spent I have to pay back plus the added interest (2%). So if I didn't use it I wouldn't pay anything, is this true or do they charge for just having the card?
If anyone with experience in this could let me know I would really appreciate it.
Thank you in advance
Oliver
