Whether you’re returning from a long trip or you want your holiday to start the minute you get off the plane, having a car to get around once you’re out of the airport makes life easy. That’s why car hire at Athens Airport is so popular. 

That being said, many people run into issues when it comes to booking a hire car because most rental companies have a ‘credit card only’ policy. But, here at Indigo Car Hire, we want to make sure renting a car is accessible to everyone, which is why we’ve worked with a number of our providers to ensure we can offer car rentals at Athens Airport without a credit card. 

If you’re looking to hire a car with a debit card, then you’re in the right place. To learn more about renting a car at Athens Airport without a credit card, keep reading. We’ll cover everything you need to know on this page. 

Is There Any Criteria I Need to Meet to Book a Car Rental at Athens Airport Without a Credit Card? 

Car rental companies typically ask for credit card payments, mostly because it’s more convenient, but also because it’s less risky for them financially. As it’s seen as riskier to use a debit card, there are a few conditions you need to meet in order to rent a car at Athens Airport without a credit card. 

You will need to: 

  • Use a debit card that matches the name of the main driver, preferably a major debit card such as Visa or Mastercard 
  • Have a full, valid driving licence 
  • Provide proof of address
  • Have enough money in the account to cover the cost of the car rental and the deposit (if there is one)

Many car rental companies will also ask you to take out additional insurance or comprehensive excess cover. This is to ensure you are completely protected in the unlikely event that you’re involved in an accident in your hire car or damage is sustained to the vehicle.

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.
