Restrictions for Hiring a Car with a Tow Bar

In order to hire a car with a tow bar in Leicester, you need to meet two key criteria:

You must be aged 25 or over
You must have held your driving licence for at least two years

Added to this, you must also meet the UK’s legal requirements for towing a car or a trailer. If you’re unsure about these, please just ask before you arrange the hire.

The good news is that, here at Indigo, we can arrange all aspects of your hire. This means that, as long as you meet the above criteria, we can arrange both the hire and the insurance to cover the vehicle.

What Types of Tow Bar Can I Hire?

Generally speaking, tow bars are available in two forms: fixed and detachable.

All of our vehicles with tow bars feature fixed tow bars. They also all come with 7 or 13-pin electrics, as required by law.

However, although all of our tow bars are of the fixed variety, two different types of tow bar are available for hire: swan neck and flange. Of the two types, flange tow bars are the most popular because they’re considered to be more versatile and better suited for purposes such as carrying bikes whilst towing.

We called the out of hours line in a panic (and feeling pretty hopeless) trying to book a last min car with no physical cards and only online banking apps. Cherie was an absolute hero who instantly put our minds at ease, and went above and beyond to answer our questions and secure a car for us. She was attentive and incredibly helpful via WhatsApp in the following days, and we can’t fault her

Cherie is a star. She was very helpful and patient in helping me explore the best vehicle, pricing and pick up locations for my trip. Considering I made a last minute booking on a Friday evening, I’m really pleased it worked out. Thank you.

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.
