Debit Card Car Hire Edinburgh Airport

Edinburgh airport is one of the busiest airports in Scotland and would you believe it’s almost impossible to hire a car with anything other than a credit card? In fact that’s not just at Edinburgh airport it can be a real struggle worldwide to get car hire without a credit card, therefore we decided we need to look into this as so many people don’t have credit cards for a whole host of reasons the major one being how risky they are to use, so many customers where being let down that we had to do something about it.

We got on the phone to all the rental companies within Edinburgh airport and tried to arrange some form of deal with them. Eventually we managed to get one, they would allow us for our customers to be able to take debit cards as a payment method, however we had to stick by their restrictions in regards to which cards can be accepted. To find out if your card complies with these restrictions, please get in touch with our team.

Excellent service

I was struggling to find a hire car that would support me as I have only held my licence for 11 months. Indigo offered me a really great price which I wasn’t expecting, very quick turn around. The customer service from Cherie in particular has been brilliant

Excellent

From start to finish Balsa was absolutely superb. He met us at the car promptly. Was efficient but very thorough when showing us around the car. He has an incredibly friendly and professional manner. We had an issue when going to drive the car back after our trip as the battery had run out due to a fault of our own but this did not phase Balsa. He was cool, calm and collected and

Exceptional Car Hire Experience

I just recently traveled from Gatwick to Marseille airport and had concerns about hiring a car due to previous bad experiences and the fact that I don’t have a credit card. Sam, however, was incredibly insightful and reassuring, making sure my booking was confirmed and that everything would be in place upon my arrival. Despite my initial distrust due to past issues with other companies, Sam’s professionalism put me at ease. I called near

Car rental in Truro

I did not regret contacting Indigo about Car rental services. At first , I am very unsure if we will be able to find a car to rent to for our holidays in Cornwall as my husband just recently had the license card. But, indigo made it possible for us. They are so responsive to my emails and queries. Also, they made an arrangement with the company to pick us up at the Truro

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.
