                Car Hire With A Visa Electron

                Hiring a car with any debit card can be a hard and tedious task especially hiring with a Visa Electron, for some reason they are not generally accepted as form of payment across the world. This is down to the fact that they aren’t a reliable form of payment. Although we can deal with debit cards comfortably we have found it a real struggle to be able to accept this form of debit card, in fact we have had to turn down many people in the past.

                It was unfortunate but this ruined many people’s plans as they had to rearrange transport methods and at Indigo car hire we hate that. We enjoy giving people great customer service that they can remember, not making them have to re arrange their plans but there was truly nothing we could do in this situation, until now.

                • Do You Hold A Debit Card That Is Not Electron?
                • Are You Over 25 & Under 70?
                • Held Your Licence For 2 Years?
                • Is Your Licence Clean?

                This is why we are so happy to be making this announcement, we can now accept Visa Electron cards thanks to one supplier. This as always with these sort of cards comes with certain restrictions however we have managed to narrow it down to just one restrictions. This restriction is that the name on the card must match the name n the licence of the main driver.

                If you meet the criteria you are one step closing to being able to hire, but you are not quite there yet. As part of our UK rules you must be 21 or over and have held your licence for a year prior to hiring with us.

                Car Hire With A Visa Electron FAQs
                Can I rent a car with a visa electron card in the UK?

                Yes! we can happily announce to you that we now accept visa electron cards, but only within the UK.

                Car hires in Heathrow who take visa electron cards?

                Visa Electrons are accepted through us at Heathrow airport as this is one of our locations.

                Can I rent a car in France with visa electron?

                Unfortunately not, for now this is only available in the UK but we will be working on deals in the future. We also commonly get asked about Italy but that is the same.

                Why do some companies not accept visa electron debit cards?

                This is because the Electron isn’t as accepted in terms of payment for anything, as its seen as more of a card for younger people.

                Why is car rental deposits higher if you pay by visa electron?

                This isn’t true, however the deposits may seem higher because we can only go with one particular company so we have to stick to their deposit.

                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.
