                Collection Procedure

                The Ideal Car Hire Hackney branch is located just off Kingsland Road in North London and is very close to both Dalston Kingsland and Junction tube stations. Collecting your vehicle is very simple, when you have confirmed your reservation just make your way to the Hackney address where the vehicle you have booked will be waiting for you.

                Ideal Car Hire also offer a delivery service within the M25 boundary and this is free of charge for all hires of 7 days or more. There are some criteria that you need to pass in order to qualify for delivery which we can discuss in more detail with you. If your hire is for less than 7 days then delivery and collection may still be an option but there will be a fee of £10.00 each way.

                Vehicle Range At Hackney Locations

                There is a wide range of hire cars available from the Hackney location from the small cars like the Peugeot 107 and Fiat 500, Midrange vehicles like the Volkswagen Golf and Hyundai i30 up to larger family cars like the Vauxhall Insignia and Volkswagen Passat. Other vehicles include 7 & 9 seater people carriers, prestige models like the Audi A1 and A4 and a small selection of Vans.

                Some examples of cars located in Hackney include….

                • Group A – Audi A1
                • Group C – BMW 1 Series
                • Group F – Mercedes C200
                • Group H – Mercedes C200 Estate
                • Group M – Vw Touareg
                • Group O – Peugeot 5008

                Accepted Payments

                A credit card in the main drivers name is the only form of payment accepted at Ideal Car Hire, the credit card must be registered at the same address that is on the main drivers licence.

                Cash is not accepted by any supplier in the UK but we do have some suppliers with offices in and around London who will allow our customers to pay with a debit card.

                Age Restrictions

                70 years old is the maximum age to hire from Ideal, this is quite common in the Uk. If like many of our loyal customers you are older than 70, don’t worry because we can arrange senior driver car hire up to the age of 99 through other suppliers.

                The younger age limit with is 22 which is lower than most other UK suppliers, but please be aware; if you are not yet 25 you will have to pay a young driver car hire fee of £12 per day. This is pretty cheap when you compare is to some other suppliers in London, but if you are under 25 please contact us dirfectly before making a booking as we may be able to provide a hire car without a young driver fee depending on your location.

                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.
