How does royalrac.com protect my credit card and other personal information?
Credit cards and personal information are safe at royalrac.com. We take protecting your information very seriously. The entire transaction is conducted through Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) software, which encrypts information you input. SSL technology is the industry standard and is used by the most reputable shopping sites on the web. In addition, we reveal only the last four digits of your credit card numbers when confirming your rental. Your credit card is not charged until you actually pick-up the vehicle at the rental location.

Here's how SSL works:
SSL technology takes your personal information and runs it through a series of steps that scrambles the request being submitted. This is done before the data is sent over the Internet so that the request cannot be read while it is being transferred. When the intended recipient receives the request, SLL unscrambles the request, checks that it came from the correct sender and then verifies that it has not been tampered with.

Does royalrac.com collect any personal information about me?
Royalrac.com does not store any personal information that you provide when you interact with our site as a non-member. If you chose to join the royalrac.com Membership program we will, at your request, 'remember you' by transferring a 'cookie' to your hard drive.

Personal information such as driver's license and credit card are only accessible to you after you input your Password. We do not collect any personal information without your knowledge and permission, nor do we sell or rent any site visit data to other parties.
