This is standard procedure and they will not access your card until you have arrived, in most cases you will not have to pay until you are leaving, it is just security for them and a sign of good faith for the booking.
You can cancell your booking if you give them notice but they can
charge you a cancellation fee if you do not turn up for the booking.
Note: I only give them the details on the front of the card and the last three digits on the back, the same as you would if you paid a bill over the phone.
But I never send photo copies with all the details of the FRONT AND BACK of the card.
You can also do the booking over the phone if you don't wish to do it by email.
