Does The Credit Card Have To Match The Licenced Driver..as I Can No Longer Drive

I need to rent a car for a week however I no longer drive due to a medical condition so I am having my boyfriend drive me.. I am paying for the car rental as is only fair and in addition he doesn't use credit cards so therefore he has no credit card with his name on it.. all other rental places would not allow us to rent a car unless the drivers licence and the cardholder were the same.. is this also your policy or would we be able to have him as driver and myself as financially responsible party?
