hello there...

i have a question regarding internet reserving of car rental in europe. this rental company requires me to fill up all my credit card particulars in their Authorization Form this includes cc no, expiry date and also CVV no. behind. (note: this not some secure page entry that we commonly fill in during online transaction. It's like a exel, word or pdf forms that we need to fill up manually and send it to them via e-mail) I've been searching high and low with uncle google and i found out that these cc authorization forms are quite common. but i'm still paranoid of giving them so much of my cc info.
so anyone can enlighten me regarding this if this is normal to merchants to ask for these authorization forms?

From what I know is there should be some regulations where companies while processing CC transactions are not allowed to note down the CVV number (regardless it is written on paper or in a word doc). That's why we have those secure pages that processes the CVV code and deletes it off immediately.

If really no choice I would just use a debit account linked to account which has only exactly the amount needed to perform the transaction.

hmm... i've no idea... never come across this written authorization b4... i'm wondering if it is a common practice in other countries
maybe i'll use my lowest credit limit card for the reservation...
