                Car Hire Without a Photocard

                The Photocard licence was introduced in 1998 and since they have tried to get everyone with old paper licences to switch to these.

                They are much more convenient, easy to use and clear and concise but they do come with their own issues, they have to legally be renewed every 10 years which many people are failing to do and they also can be easy to lose since it’s the size of a credit/debit card, never the less photocards are the most commonly produced form of photo identification in the UK along with passports.

                The most important part of your licence in terms of hiring a car is the photo part, this is used to tell various things and mostly as a proof of identity. All car hire companies require this photocard to be produced when you turn up to the rental counter and it’s an easy thing to lose or forget about or lose and it can be costly to replace at about £25, not to mention convenient. In this regard often people don’t have it and rental companies have an issue with this, we included because it means that you won’t be able to pick up your vehicle, or not at least until now.

                The photo part of your licence isn’t so much of an issue abroad but it is in the UK as all the rental companies apart from one we have managed to negotiate with and arrange a deal that will allow you to get car hire without photo part of your driving licence meaning there will be no issues when you turn up at the rental desk.

                Supply is however very limited and we have also only managed to arrange this with one supplier in the UK who have a few locations across the country, but since the supply is limited we ask that you make us fully aware of the situation before you pick up the rental vehicle as we need to book you with this precise supplier as only they will allow you to do this.


                If you are interested in hiring a car but don’t have the photo part of your licence then don’t worry just call Indigo Car Hire and we will be able to help you. You can reach us on +44 (0)113 880 0748 or email us at [email protected] and we will answer all your questions and queries.

                Great and easy to deal with everytime... will come back to them again

                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.
