Car Hire Helsinki Airport With A Debit Card

Car Hire Without A Credit Card

Debit cards are one of the world’s most popular payment methods which may be the reason for surprise when it comes to rental companies not accepting them. Credit cards are the only general accepted form of payment usually and car hire without a credit card can be a real struggle to find, no matter where you are in the world including Helsinki Airport.

There are a lot of people that either don’t have a credit card or simply like using it, which is completely understandable as credit cards are much more dangerous than debit as it only takes a small misjudgement and you can be landed in a spiral of debt. We looked at arranging debit card car hire in several locations, inclusive of Helsinki airport and can proudly announce that we were successful.

When discussing this with the supplier they gave us requirements that we had to abide by when accepting payment by debit cards, and unfortunately if your card doesn’t meet these then there isn’t much we can do in terms of that.

One of the requirements is that the name on the card must match the name on the licence of the main driver. The other restrictions can differ depending on location and the supplier. For this reason, we recommend that you contact our reservations team before you book, that way we can advise you of the best solution. Please call us on +44 (0)113 880 0748, email us on [email protected] or chat with our team online.

There are some suppliers that require you to take the extra insurance if you are paying with a debit card, however this isn’t a bad thing as it means you get a zero excess and won’t be liable for any damage during your rental period.

Please beware that *** Booking Online Does Not Guarantee You A Debit Card Car Hire Supplier – You Must Speak To Our Team Directly If You Wish To Arrange A Car Hire Helsinki Airport Without A Credit Card ***

Excellent

Not only are they the only ones to do car hire with well known brands on debit cards, but they make themselves easily available to contact (responding quickly to emails and having extended telephone operating hours), provide as much help as possible and have your best interests at heart. Second time I hire through them and not the last. 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.
