Renting a car and being asked to pay by cheques

I am in the process of renting a car for 8 months. The owner is asking for 8 cheques. However, I would rather pay by credit card or cash every month.
Is this usual practice to ask for 8 cheques?

Go to the Big Names in Car Rental, THat is a lot safer, it might cost a bit more- but you will not have any problems. Asking For Cheques is unheard of.

Shaun, there is a new law or regulation that states that post dated cheques can be cashed immediately in any branch of the bank that issued the cheques.

Please be careful and try to deal a way of payment either cash or CC on a monthly basis.

Also sign a contract just in case something happens you will have a legal document to back you up....and also be sure the car rented to you doesn't have any "hidden damaged" that could lead the leasing company or person to charge you fot that.

Just have a clear contract and make your way trhough it...be careful...

Regards!!!
