                Most car rental companies only accept credit cards, so it’s highly likely that you will have encountered problems trying to hire a car without a credit card in Ireland. 

                But, here at Indigo Car Hire, we want to ensure non-credit-card holders can still access the rental cars they require. This is why we’ve been working hard with several suppliers to arrange an alternative solution – car hire in Ireland with a debit card.

                Should I Hire a Car in Ireland?

                Yes! Hiring a car in Ireland is a must for those who want to travel with ease to major cities like Dublin, Cork, and Limerick. If you don’t want to rely on public transport and are looking to hire a car in Ireland without a credit card, then Indigo Car Hire is the way to go. We can quickly and easily arrange car hire in Ireland with a debit card. 

                What Are the Restrictions? 

                Hiring a car with a credit card has certain restrictions, and this is no different when it comes to car hire using a debit card. For instance, the name stated on the licence of the main driver must match the name on the debit card. 

                In addition to this, there are some restrictions that can vary depending on the car supplier and the location, so we strongly recommend that you contact our reservations department prior to booking so we can advise you of the best solution.

                Amazing

                I was nervous about booking with Indigo, as the saying ‘if it’s sounds too good to be true, it usually is’ came to mind. However, thanks to Travis the customer service agent who was excellent, reassuring and very helpful, he put all my doubts to rest.
                We went to Ireland and picked the car up and there were no surprises at all, everything was as he said it would be. Excellent service paid with debit card and low deposit as stated.
                Would recommend this company to friends and family.

                Amazing service.

                I had a problem with the hire company in Belfast airport but Indigo sorted everything out. Great company, I would highly recommend.

                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.
