                Many people don’t own a credit card, and this can prove challenging when it comes to hiring a car. Most major car rental companies won’t accept debit cards, largely because it’s less convenient and more of a risk. 

                However, here at Indigo Car Hire, we don’t want anyone to miss out on the best deals just because they don’t own a credit card. That’s why we’ve worked with several suppliers in and around Dublin Airport to offer debit card car rental at Dublin Airport.  

                To find out more about car hire at Dublin Airport with no credit card, stay on this page. We’ll go through everything you need to know here.

                What Are the Requirements for Car Rentals in Dublin With No Credit Card?

                There are some additional requirements for debit card car rental at Dublin Airport. This typically includes:

                • A full UK driving licence
                • Proof of address
                • Enough funds in your bank account to cover the cost of the rental and the deposit
                • Use of a major debit card such as Visa or Mastercard

                Criteria can vary slightly depending on the supplier so it’s always important to check that you’re eligible prior to booking. 

                Which Cars Are Available for Hire at Dublin Airport? 

                Debit card car hire does have some limitations, so you won’t have access to our full fleet of hire cars. However, there are still a number of great cars in various classes on offer, such as: 

                • Volkswagen Up – Mini
                • Vauxhall Corsa – Economy

                • BMW 3 Series – Full Size
                • Mercedes E Class – Luxury

                Which Debit Cards Do You Accept?

                We can work with most major debit cards, including the following: 

                • Visa Debit Cards

                • Premiere Debit Cards
                • NatWest Debit Cards
                • Barclays Connect Debit Cards

                We may still be able to provide you with a hire car if you have a Maestro, Visa Electron, Solo or Santander debit card, however these can prove more difficult. But our team of experts will always do their best to secure you a good deal. 

                How Much Does Car Hire at Dublin Airport With No Credit Card Cost? 

                The price of car rental at Dublin Airport with no credit card can vary dramatically depending on a number of factors, so we can’t give a definitive answer. However, we can tell you that there is no additional charge for using a debit card instead of a credit card. 

                The overall cost of your debit card car rental at Dublin Airport may be slightly higher purely because the cheapest suppliers may not offer debit card car hire. But we always endeavour to get you the best deal possible. 

                Is There Anything Else To Consider When Choosing Dublin Airport Car Hire With a Debit Card? 

                You may be required to take out additional cover or insurance, but this will depend on your chosen supplier. The only reason for this is to ensure you and your hire car are completely covered in the unlikely event of an accident.

                Excellent customer service

                I contacted Indigo via email to organise car hire in Ireland as I had specific requirements that could not be facilitated by other car hire companies.
                Connor was quick to respond as well as being very friendly and efficient.
                It’s quite unusual to find such great customer service, I highly recommend this company.

                Car Hire Dublin Airport Without a Credit Card FAQs
                Can I hire a car at Dublin airport without a credit card?

                Yes, you can as long as you have a debit card there are a few major supplier who will still hire to you.

                What happens to the deposit if I hire with a debit card?

                You will have to have the funds available on your debit card to cover the amount, this will be taken from your card and refunded after the rental is returned. That being said if this is an issue we can often find suppliers which have a low deposit and in some cases no deposit.

                Which car hire companies accept debit cards at Dublin Airport?

                Dublin Airport is quite limited in terms of suppliers who will accept a debit card, most major suppliers are strictly credit card only. On this page we have a list of which suppliers accept debit cards.

                Why is hiring with a debit card tricky?

                Hiring with a debit card is tricky because it’s seen as more risky for suppliers. Using a credit card means they can often hold a larger deposit, should anything happen to the vehicle. This puts several suppliers off accepting debit cards, but not all.

                Can I use someone else's credit card to hire a car instead?

                Unfortunately no, the payment card needs to be in the name of the main driver of the vehicle.

                Can I Hire a Car at Dublin Airport with a Revolut Debit Card?

                Tricky one, most suppliers do not accept Revolut Debit Cards as they are not considered a full debit card.

                However – The good news is, we do have an option to hire with a Revolut Debit Card with a small selection of our suppliers at Dublin Airport. As long as the card is not a Prepaid Debit Card, and the debit card has the drivers name printed on.

                If you are looking to hire a car and you only have a Revolut card, please DO NOT book online. Contact our reservations team, making it clear this is the card you intend to use, we will then provide a suitable quote.

                 

                Can I Hire With a Debit Card from Dublin if I Live in Ireland?

                If you are looking to hire a car at Dublin Airport and you reside in the UK, you are what rental companies refer as a local renter.

                Most rental suppliers if you are a local renter would insist on a credit card, however we have a selection of options so can help.

                You do need to be employed and be able to present a wage / pay slip along with other ID such as 2 x Proofs of current address.

                If you need to hire a car in these circumstances, please do not book online, contact our reservations team we can provide a quote and hopefully get a rental secured for you.

                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.
