Car Hire Companies That Accept Debit Cards
In the past, most if not all car hire companies would insist on a credit card in the name of the lead driver. This was used to cover any local excess amount. The excess being the amount that you would be held liable for damage to the vehicle that was your fault. So if, like me, you were anti credit cards, it was next to impossible to rent a car.
Over recent years, some of the rental companies are seeing the errors of their ways and are now providing a rental option with no credit card. At most locations it is now possible to find a few suppliers that will accept a debit card and also car rental companies that now offer car rental with no deposit or low deposit.
Most rental companies require a local security deposit, which is normally blocked against the lead driver's credit card. Some suppliers will let you use a debit card, but most insist on a credit card. Security deposits can vary dependent on the car category. At the moment, car rental security deposits in Glasgow Airport can be between £500 and £1,500.

This is an amount that is blocked on the credit card of the lead driver at the start of rental. It normally covers the car excess amount and the deposit for the fuel in the tank.

Should I buy insurance excess cover?
The insurance excess amount is the amount that you will be held liable for in the event of damage caused by you to the rental vehicle. With some suppliers this can be a signifiant amount, in the UK it can be as much as £2000 for some car categories.
The rental company will offer additional insurance to lower or waive the excess, but be warned this cover may still not cover damage to windows, underside and tires and can be more expensive than if you had prepurchased cover.
We work with Discover cars and can offer you the option to purchase excess insurance during the checkout process, or you can buy insurance from another provider. In either case, you will still be liable for any damage, but you can then use the insurance policy to claim the costs back when you return home.
