Debit Cards Now Accepted In The UAE

October 25, 2018 Debit Card Car Hire News, Dubai, UAE Comments Off on Debit Cards Now Accepted In The UAE
Burj Al Arab

We have some fantastic news, we have managed to secure a deal with a large supplier in the UAE to offer car hire using only a debit card. Until now it was impossible to hire a vehicle without a credit card in Dubai and the rest of the UAE. This deal comes with very specific requirements but does mean that car hire is now accessible to more people visiting the UAE.

How It Works

If you are paying with a debit card in the UAE, our supplier will require a deposit on arrival of 3500DHS, which at the current exchange rate is around £750. This is not uncommon in our industry, however this amount will be deducted from your card and not just held/frozen which is the usual way it works.

When the vehicle has been returned in the expected condition the process of refunding this amount will begin, you need to be aware that this process can take upto 30 days to complete, for reasons we do not know. So the first thing you need to consider is, if you want to use a debit card to hire a vehicle in Dubai or the rest of the UAE then you need to be in a position to be without £750 for a month or so.

Where Is This Available?

Abu Dhabi Downtown
Ajman
Al Maktoum International Airport
Dubai Airport
Dubai Down Town
Dubai Marina Beach
Fujairah City
Ras al-Khaimah
Sharjah

Other Services

Additional Driver: A 2nd Driver can be added to the rental for just 15 Dirhams, around £3 per day.
Fuel Policy: A Full to Full policy is in operation, which means you will be charged if you return the vehicle with anything other than a full tank.
Young Drivers: Drivers aged 21-24 can hire a vehicle but your insurance liability will be higher than the standard amount, please talk to us about this before booking.

If you want to hire a vehicle in the United Arab Emirates and do not hold a credit card in your name then please contact us, do not book online. You can call us on 0113 88 00 748, email us on sales@thealternativeagency.co.uk or chat with us online.

Hiring a Car Without a Credit Card in Auckland

February 28, 2018 Debit Card Car Hire News, New Zealand Comments Off on Hiring a Car Without a Credit Card in Auckland

Hiring a car without a credit card in Auckland could now not be easier with a new addition to our supply list. Already a popular service of ours, we are always looking to provide our customers with more choice when it comes to using a debit card to rent a car instead of a credit card. Auckland Airport in New Zealand is now one of those locations with a choice of offers available.

Whilst we have the standard payments methods of Visa Credit Card, MasterCard Credit Card and American Express we can also accept Visa debit cards and Mastercard debit cards. Not only for the payment of the car but also for the security deposit that is required on arrival.

These services are also offered from various other locations in New Zealand

In addition to our unique payment methods we make a full list of optional extras available at the rental counter, Baby seats, GPS Hire and additional drivers.

We also offer a free 2nd driver, so for those that are wanting to share the driving whilst hiring a car they will be subject to no additional charge for doing so.

A frequent question that is asked at this location is surrounding the subject of drivers ages, both the upper and lower age limits. The most frequent being:

Can I hire a car if under the age of 25 in Auckland?

The answer to this question is most definitely yes, the next question that generally follows suit is, is there an extra charge to hire when you are under 25? The answer to this question is NO, we offer car rental to drivers under the age of 25 without any additional surcharge, to be clear that is free of charge, this is subject to the drivers being 21 years of age or over.

We are also frequently asked which size of car is recommend to hire in Auckland and if they are any restrictions to what cars can be hired without a credit card, the answer to this generally comes as a result how far you are travelling and how many people are in the vehicle and how much luggage is present, but we offer a full range of vehicles to suit every persons needs, economy sized vehicles with either 2 or 4 doors moving through to the compact / intermediate range of vehicles and then onto 7 seat MPV minivans and four wheel drive vehicles all of which can be hired without the need for a credit card for the security deposit.

If you would like to learn more about these services and ultimately take advantage of them, please get in touch and one of our experts can guide you through the process.

Do you use a Trusted Supplier for Car Rental?

February 14, 2018 Car Hire Tips, Debit Card Car Hire News Comments Off on Do you use a Trusted Supplier for Car Rental?

Why is it important to use a trusted supplier when looking for a debit card rental?

The obvious reason to choose a trusted supplier is to assure that you will not be required to present a credit card at the desk. Often you will see a company advertise that they will accept debit cards and happily take it for the rental cost. Yet when you arrive you find out that you will need a credit card for the deposit – not with us! Through the arrangements we have set up at Indigo Car Hire with our trusted suppliers. We can ensure that a credit card will not be needed for any step of the rental process.

No Surprises with a Trusted Supplier

Often when you arrive at the airport with just a debit card you end up being forced to take out additional insurance that wasn’t specified in the quote. When you get a debit card quote from us here at Indigo we guarantee that the amount quoted will be the amount you pay with no hidden or extra fees awaiting you at the airport. Having to go through the hassle of bartering with the supplier over unforeseen costs can really ruin the start of your holiday. Therefore it is important to us that all necessary fees are outlined from the start.

We have an option for you – no matter the niche!

In addition to hiring with a debit card, many people looking to hire have specific needs / requests that suppliers often cannot fulfil. We have managed to secure many options for people not only just hiring with a debit card – but also for young drivers, senior drivers, people looking to hire with points/convictions, low deposit options and countless more in conjunction with debit card car hire. If this describes you then just get in touch us at Indigo so we can book you with the supplier that’s right for you.

Round the Clock Support

And lastly, perhaps the most important reason that you should choose a trusted supplier is to make sure that everything runs smoothly throughout the hire from collection to return. Which can be notably tricky when hiring with a debit card. With Indigo being the highest rated company in car rental on Trustpilot, it is obvious that we go out of our way to put you with a supplier that can take care of your every need and make the whole process so much more straightforward – allowing you to focus on enjoying your holiday instead! We do this by placing you with the supplier that will best fit your needs and offering you 24-hour assistance should you require anything.
