Can I pay with cash?

Arlington On-Demand is a cashless service. Don’t have a credit card? Visit a local dollar store or grocery store to purchase a pre-paid credit card with cash in the dollar amount of your choosing. Note that reloadable cards, such as American Express “Serve”, are preferable because they can be refilled when empty without requiring the purchase of a new card. Once you have your prepaid card, you can set up an account on your smart phone.
