                How Do I Pay For My Hire Car?

                Car hire all over the world is paid for using a payment card in the main drivers name. Most commonly a credit card but some times a debit card will do. Below are popular types of cards and some more information on using them to pay for rental cars. If you are unsure about anything, you should always contact us before making a booking online.

                You cannot pay for a hire car with any of the following methods:

                • Cash
                • Cheque
                • Crypto Currentcy (Bitcoin)
                • Direct Debit
                • Bank Transfer

                Accepted Card Types

                Do I need to pass a credit check if using my debit card to hire?

                If renting a car in the UK and you are a UK resident most of the large multinational suppliers will carry out an electronic address check to ensure you have strong enough links to the address provided. However most of the suppliers with the exception of 1 or 2, still carry out the same checks so not unique to when you need to hire via a debit card. Key indicator are if you are named on the Electoral Register and named on the council tax bill.

                When renting a car overseas as an inbound client our suppliers do not carry out any checks.

                Do I need to leave a deposit if hiring with a debit card?

                Most suppliers do require a security deposit when renting a car, in the UK we have a range of options. The best value suppliers would request a £200.00 – £300.00 deposit. However we do have selected locations where our supplier does not require any deposit, so a full zero deposit.

                In Europe we have options where you can just leave a fuel deposit of 110 EUR, and there is no mandatory requirement to take the Super Cover as this can be the case with some of the smaller budget suppliers.
