Can you rent a car without a credit card?
Simply put, yes, you can. Majority of companies simply won’t allow you to rent without a credit card that is in your name & on top of that almost all don’t allow for cash, prepaid cards or check payments. The only other option you have available, that some companies are able to allow is car hire with a debit card, which has a few additional caveats.
How to rent a car without a credit card
As previously mentioned it is possible to hire a car without a credit card if you have a debit card. Visa UK Debit cards will be accepted with certain suppliers as long as it meets the requirements:
- A valid debit card in your name (Visa or MasterCard for example although many different cards are accepted.)
- Full valid UK driving license
- Proof of address like a utility bill
- The debit card needs to have enough balance to cover the rental cost & deposit

Well it was a great relief talking to the Cherie Walker and Ciaran. These guys are stars who helped me booking a car in UK without a credit card. While all other companies denied these guys were a great help.
I have used Indigo several times as I don't have a credit card. Their online chat support service is excellent. I have arranged car hire today in a few minutes at a great price.
Many thanks to Connor for his assistance.
