# Book travels / cars with Spendesk virtual cards

Most of the time, a **single-use** card is adequate for your bookings.

However in certain cases you might need to request a **recurring payments** card.

# You need to show the card upon arrival

When you book your travels, prefer e-tickets/mobile tickets and choose to be charged before arrival. Then, you don't have to show your card.  
If you still need to, log on our mobile app > select your payment > click on "**View the card**".

# Your booking is cancelled

No worries, even if your virtual card has expired, the refund is still possible. The money directly goes to your company's wallet.

# Your card has to be valid at the time of service

Some suppliers require a valid card to charge extra services. As our single-use cards are only valid until the last day of the next month, we recommend [using recurring payments cards](http://helpcenter.spendesk.com/en/articles/4200510-use-recurring-payments-cards) for travels booked more than a month in advance. Indeed, if the card has expired, the merchant can't charge it again and the payment is declined.

# You need to pay a deposit

Some suppliers may ask for a deposit upon booking. [Use a recurring payments card](http://helpcenter.spendesk.com/en/articles/4200510-use-recurring-payments-cards) to cover all your fees / authorizations.
