Why Hire An Estate Car In The UK

When it comes to size there are different types of estate vehicles, compact estates like the Vauxhall Astra and Volkswagen Golf which provide the space needed but are still very easy to drive for someone who may not be comfortable driving a large vehicle.

The largest of the standard estate vehicles are cars like the Audi A6 Avant, Mercedes E Class and BMW 5 Series. These vehicles are in the premium category.

Conor for the win

Dear Indigo Few weeks ago I booked car from Sixt through Indigo. Every time I was talking to any operator in sixt company I was misinformed and misguided. Today I spoke with Conor who works for Indigo. He was extremely kind and professional. In 1 hour he helped me more than 6 different operators within 3 weeks of talking to sixt. Thank You Conor for Your calm, kindness and exceptional professionalism. I would recommend

Índigo saved my bacon!

It was such a relief to hear about Indigo, I had a car hire booking with another company, who only took credit cards and charged an insane security deposit. With Indigo I was able to speak to someone over the phone and get it all sorted within 20 minutes! Thank you Sam, you were very helpful and made the process so easy and transparent.

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.
