Car Hire With A Debit Card in France
Hiring a car in France with no Credit Card can prove tricky as many rental companies operate a credit card only policy. Here at Indigo car hire we are proud to make our services available to as many people as possible. As such we have made arrangements with some of our suppliers that will allow our customers to book car hire with a debit card in France
Renting a car with a debit card has never been easier, you simply contact Indigo car hire, explain your requirements and we will find you the right supplier for you. We’ll do all the leg work!! Most car hire companies In France insist on drivers providing a major credit card for a security swipe on arrival and don’t accept debit cards. We understand that not everyone has a credit card and wanted to make sure we can assist you with your requirements. We can accept most major debit cards across most of our vehicle groups meaning a wider choice of vehicles to suit your needs.
We cover the vast majority of locations in France without the need for a credit card to cover the security deposit, further information can be found in the table below, and bear in mind this list is not exhaustive.
Car Hire With A Debit Card in France
We can offer car hire with a debit card in France. With that been said when the deal was secured it came with a few restrictions regarding the type of card that may be used. One of the restrictions is that the name on the card must be the same as the name on the licence of the main driver of the hire car. The other restrictions may change depending on location and supplier. Consequently, we recommend you contact us before booking, this allows us to find you the best deal for your needs.

Can I Hire the car if the card is not in my Name?
The rental fee can be paid in advance of collection by someone else (a third party) this can be required for a number of reasons, but we generally find it is when people are going on business and their company is footing the bill for the car hire, it is however important to understand that on arrival the driver will need to have a card in their own name to cover the security deposit required, Indigo will always advise clearly and concisely what this level of security deposit is, it generally sits between 200 – 300 EUR

Jake Kitchingham was so helpful and sorted a car for us really easily. Many thanks!
We had a lvery ast minute change to our holiday thanks to covid and france being added to quarantine list day before we were due to travel. We switched our holiday to Italy, but tealised we would now have to have car hire, Panic ensued when wecrealised most companies tequire a credit card. Cue indigo! I was anxious about going through a specialist broker as thought it would bump up the price cosiderably, but it actually ended up being cheaper. Huge thank you to Matt at indigo echo was brilliant. He sorted everything quickly and efficiently which was amazing given our level of panic! Highly recommend, 10 out of 10
We always use this company as we don’t have a credit all I can say is they are faultless from start to finish. We would never use anyone else.
Excellent service ??
Dealing was Indigo was a fantastic experience. They made it so easy - even allowing us to change our booking a few days before our holiday to benefit from a cheaper rate for a larger vehicle. And dealing with Enterprise who we were assigned to by Indigo were brilliant to deal with too - pick up and drop off was very efficient and easy.
The only critisicm I have is that no mentiion was made about the insurance excess and how you can purchase an insurance excess waiver policy to cover this - I just happened to find out from a friend fortunately before going.
But not having a credit card we have not been able to hire a car before now and finding Indigo who can arrange hire with a debit card has been a real help to making our holiday in France this year so much better.
So thank you Indigo Car Hire!
