We have some great news for people looking to hire a car in Greece, we now have 2 suppliers willing to accept a debit card as payment for the hire car from our customers.
They are 2 of the big names in worldwide car rental and have quite different terms when it comes to hiring a car with no credit card from Thessaloniki Airport. To find out if your card will be accepted, please get in touch with our team.
Then things get slightly different depending on which provider we go with.
Option 1
When hiring a car without a credit card, this supplier will hold a deposit on your debit card for the full amount of your excess, this is not taken from your account but frozen until the vehicle is returned.
Another great offer from this supplier is the fact that they will allow drivers under 25 to hire with no additional costs, drivers ages 21-24 can hire a car from the Mini or Economy groups providing they have help a full clean licence for 12 months.
Option 2
This supplier accepts debit cards for all rentals and only takes a deposit for a tank of fuel, so depending on the size of the vehicle the deposit will generally be between €60-€100 Euros. This is obviously a better option than above if you need access to the funds in your account while on holiday.
The downside of this is that although this supplier will also allow drivers under the age of 25 to hire a car, there is an additional daily surcharge which at the current exchange rate is about £10 GBP per day.
As always if you are looking to hire a car and do not have a credit card for payment please contact us before making a booking. You can chat with us online, call us on +44 (0)113 880 0748 or email us at sales@thealternativeagency.co.uk. Booking online will not guarantee you will get the supplier you need..
