                Collection Procedure

                The Ideal Car Hire Islington office is ‘idealy’ located between Kings Cross/St Pancras Station and Islington just off Penton Street near the Pentonville Road. Collecting your rental vehicle could not be easier, once you have confirmed your rental make your way to the Islington office address where your vehicle will be ready and waiting for you.

                Ideal car hire also offer delivery and collection within the M25 boundaries of London and this service is free of charge for all hires of 7 days or more. If you would like your rental vehicle delivered to your door there are certain restrictions in place that we can discuss in more detail with you before you book. If your rental for less than 7 days then delivery and collection may still be a possibility but there will be a small fee of £10 each way.

Other vehicles available include 7 & 9 seater people carriers and prestige models like the Audi A1 and A4.

                Some examples of cars located in Islington include….

                • Group A – Audi A1
                • Group C – BMW 1 Series

                Accepted Payments

                Ideal accept payment via a credit card in the main drivers name, this credit card must be registered to the address on the hirer’s driving licence.

                Unfortunately cash is never accepted by any suppliers, but we do have some suppliers with locations in and around London that will allow debit card car hire.

                Age Restrictions

                They have a maximum age limit of 70 years old, which is quite common in the UK but if you are older than this, we can still arrange senior driver car hire through other car hire suppliers up to the age of 99.

                Their lower age limit is 22 years old which is younger than most other suppliers, but if you are younger than 25 you will have to pay a young driver surcharge of £12 p/day. Compared to other car hire suppliers this is quite low, but if you interested in young driver car hire then please contact us direct before making a reservation as we may be able to arrange your hire with a supplier that does not charge a young driver fee.

                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.
