How does Alamo-st-barth.com protect my credit card and other personal information?
Credit cards and personal information are safe at Alamo-st-barth.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, SSL unscrambles the request, checks that it came from the correct sender and then verifies that it has not been tampered with.
