                Intermediate Sized Cars

                Here is an example of some of the cars included within this group….

                Vauxhall Insignia

                The Insignia was launched in 2008 and replaced the popular Vectra, it first however started as a concept car until the first on show Insignia was on 23rd July 2008 and since it’s been a hit with the British and worldwide motoring industry although its retailed under different names.

                Ford Mondeo

                The “world car” quite literally, Mondeo comes from the Latin world Mundus meaning “world” because Ford wanted the car to be a success all over the world and so far its lived up to expectation since its start of production in 1992. A brilliant reliable car that will get you from A to B with no worries at all.

                Volkswagen Passat

                In 2012 the Passat won the Motor Trend Car of the Year and it has been at the top of its range from its start of production since 1973. The car is very large and spacious with fantastic drive and comfort

                Hyundai i40

                The i40 is a large family car popular throughout the whole of Europe it also has an estate variant available. The i40 is brand new to the production line only starting in 2011 but has become one of the major forces in the Intermediate group with great sales.

                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.
