                I’m under 25, can I hire a car at Heathrow Airport? The short answer is yes, but you must meet particular requirements in order to do so, here are the few things you should know about hiring a car at Heathrow Airport when you’re considered a young driver.

                • You must be over the age of 21
                • You must have held your licence for at least a year
                • You will be subject to an additional daily surcharge, this is to cover any extra insurances that are required
                • You must have held your licence for a year or more
                • If you have points on your licence it will make hiring more tricky and limit the rental companies you can hire from

                Excellent ..This is the second time I use Indigo and will do so for future visits as well .They were extremely helpful and efficient.The car hire process was made easy and Enterprise car hire were also very helpful .

                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.

                We’ll Do The Leg Work for you

                Let us take the stress out of car hire. Our experts will get you the best deal, tailored to your exact needs.
