About Global Auto Card powered by Expedia

Global Auto Card powered by Expedia gives recipients a prepaid card they can use toward a rental car booking on globalautocard.com. It suits businesses that want to offer a practical travel benefit, reward high performers with something more flexible than a single merchant voucher, or reimburse team members for rental cars they would otherwise expense. The card is issued by Global Hotel Card, Inc. and works as full or partial payment.

GIFQ offers this card in 24 markets: Austria, Australia, Belgium, Canada, Germany, Estonia, Spain, Finland, France, Greece, Croatia, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Lithuania, Latvia, Luxembourg, Netherlands, New Zealand, Portugal, Sweden, Slovenia, Slovakia, the United Kingdom, and the United States. Each market has its own card in the local currency, and a card issued for one country is not redeemable in another. The amounts you can load are set per market. For example, in Germany you can load between 25 and 1,000 EUR, while in Australia the range is 50 to 1,500 AUD. Every market page lists the exact minimum, maximum, and currency.

None of these cards expire, so recipients can hold the balance until they are ready to book. When you are choosing a card for a recipient, pick the market where they are based or where they will rent the car. The card does not work on expedia.com or directly with individual rental agency websites; it must be used on globalautocard.com.

Businesses use the Global Auto Card through GIFQ when they need to send rental car value across several countries from one place. A company with team members in the United Kingdom, France, and Canada can send each person a card in their local currency. You can send cards one at a time through the API when you need to pay out a research participant or contractor, or in bulk from the dashboard when you are rewarding a large team or customer group. You choose the country card and set the amount in that market's currency.

This brand is strongest where a rental car credit is a meaningful benefit: field teams, traveling consultants, or loyalty programs for drivers. It is less useful in markets where your recipients rarely rent cars or prefer a general travel card that covers flights and hotels too.

Choose the card’s market first

This is the brand’s overview page. The options above are products for different markets; open one to review the details that apply to your order.

  1. Start with where it will be redeemed

    Choose the option for the country where the card will be used. Each listing has its own redemption coverage, making it easier to find the right product for recipients in different markets.

  2. Compare values and conditions

    Currencies, denominations and terms can differ between products from the same brand. Review each market page and its instructions before deciding your selection or calculating the program budget.

  3. Organize orders by product

    For a program covering several countries, prepare the product, market, value and quantity needed for each group. Confirm your account pricing and delivery flow before moving from a test to a larger order.

  4. Decide who chooses the brand

    With a direct order, your business selects the card. If you would rather let each recipient choose, explore recipient-choice payouts and confirm the products supported for your program.

Frequently asked questions

Which countries is the Global Auto Card powered by Expedia available in?

GIFQ offers this card in 24 markets: Austria, Australia, Belgium, Canada, Germany, Estonia, Spain, Finland, France, Greece, Croatia, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Lithuania, Latvia, Luxembourg, Netherlands, New Zealand, Portugal, Sweden, Slovenia, Slovakia, the United Kingdom, and the United States.

Can a card bought for one country be used in another?

No. Each market edition is a separate card tied to its country and currency. A card issued for Germany is denominated in euros and only works as a Germany card. You need to select the card that matches the recipient's country.

How do I choose the right market for a recipient?

Select the market where the recipient is located or where they will rent the car. The card's currency and redemption are set for that country. If a recipient moves or needs to book in another country, you would need to send them the card for that new market.

Where can I see the amount limits and rules for each country?

Each market page on GIFQ lists the exact currency, minimum and maximum load amounts, and redemption details. For example, the Austria page shows a range of 25 to 1,000 EUR. All cards have no expiry.

What kinds of recipients is this card well suited for?

It works well for recipients who drive or rent cars regularly: field sales teams, traveling consultants, researchers, and loyalty program members. If your recipients rarely rent cars, a broader travel or retail gift card may be a better fit.

Can I send these cards in bulk or as payouts through GIFQ?

Yes. You can order cards in bulk from the GIFQ dashboard when you are rewarding a large team, or send them one at a time through the API for individual payouts. You choose the market and amount for each card.
