Europcar are a massive rental company owned by the French investment company Eurazeo. Europcar originally used to be owned by the Volkswagen group until it was later sold; the company was founded in Paris back in 1949 and since has seen serious improvement. This is shown by its 200,000 vehicles which are at 2,825 locations in 143 different countries, a vast number of chains.

After Europcars sale to Eurazeo in 2006 they made vast moves to increase business, they bought Vanguard Emea in 2007 making them the owners of Alamo rent a car and National car rental. Although it’s one of the biggest car rental services it doesn’t lose its quality customer service and great customer interaction, Europcar are one of the biggest and best suppliers within the UK offering a range of services including car hire with a debit card

Dublin Airport car rental via Easirent

Very helpful staff, Good quality vehicle and a very easy to use process. Only very small criticism was finding the shuttle bus, a phone call is required to find out you need to go to Zone 18, there are signposts telling you the direction to Zone 18 but no actual signs showing where Zone 18 actually is, but even with this very small detail it was a relatively easy process start to finish

Conor for the win

Dear Indigo Few weeks ago I booked car from Sixt through Indigo. Every time I was talking to any operator in sixt company I was misinformed and misguided. Today I spoke with Conor who works for Indigo. He was extremely kind and professional. In 1 hour he helped me more than 6 different operators within 3 weeks of talking to sixt. Thank You Conor for Your calm, kindness and exceptional professionalism. I would recommend

Índigo saved my bacon!

It was such a relief to hear about Indigo, I had a car hire booking with another company, who only took credit cards and charged an insane security deposit. With Indigo I was able to speak to someone over the phone and get it all sorted within 20 minutes! Thank you Sam, you were very helpful and made the process so easy and transparent.

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.
