                Why Hire An Estate Car In The UK

                Estate vehicles are becoming more and more popular with rental companies as more people are holidaying at home and more business users require the space. Hire An Estate Car with Indigo car hire and you can enjoy the space you need for all of the family plus luggage.

                When it comes to size there are different types of estate vehicles, compact estates like the Vauxhall Astra and Volkswagen Golf which provide the space needed but are still very easy to drive for someone who may not be comfortable driving a large vehicle.

                Larger intermediate estate vehicles like the Audi A4, Skoda Octavia and BMW 3 Series offer a larger amount of space and comfort.

                The largest of the standard estate vehicles are cars like the Audi A6 Avant, Mercedes E Class and BMW 5 Series. These vehicles are in the premium category. There is not much difference in size to the intermediate vehicles, the main difference is the comfort, luxury and prestige of driving one of these top end vehicles.

                Estate Car Hire FAQs
                Can I hire an estate car hire near me?

                Yes! We work with rental companies all over the world meaning there are thousands of locations, so there is every chance there is a place to hire close to you.

                How many suitcases can an estate car hold?

                It depends how large the suitcases are, however typically the rule of thumb is 3-4 larger suitcases.

                Are there different sizes of estates for hire?

                Yes, estate cars come in a few different sizes and there are some which could be considered small, however there are options that will be more suitable for families for instance.

                Can you guarantee a specific estate car, a BMW or Audi for example?

                If you are based in the UK we work with one particular supplier who can guarantee models, but it depends upon their availability on your given dates and times. We’ll do our best!

                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.
