Collecting your vehicle could not be simpler, once you have confirmed your booking just make your way to the office address where your vehicle will be waiting for you.

If you would like your vehicle delivered there are certain restrictions in place that we can discuss in more detail with you. If you are looking to hire for less than 7 days then delivery may still be possible but there will be a small fee of £10 each way.

                Accepted Payments

                Ideal Car Hire only accept payment via a credit card in the drivers name, this card must be registered to the address on the hirers driving licence.

                Cash is not accepted by any suppliers however we do have some suppliers with locations in London that will allow you to debit card car hire.

                Age Restrictions

                Ideal Car Hire have an upper age limit of 70 years old, which is quite common but if you are older than this, we can arrange rentals senior driver car hire through other suppliers up to the age of 99.

                Their minimum age limit is 22 which is lower than most, but be aware if you are younger than 25 then you will liable for a young driver surcharge of £12 per day. Compared to other suppliers charges this is quite low, but if you are interested in young driver car hire then please contact us before making a booking as we may be able to arrange a rental with a supplier that does not charge a fee for being under 25.

                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.
