Can I Book No Credit Card Car Hire at Athens Airport?
Yes - but only if you have a debit card - cash is not accepted for security reasons. As you can imagine this poses risks for the car hire companies located either at Athens airport or nearby - therefore cash payments are not an option if you have no credit card.
Just run a quote above and we will filter your results to show only those cars allowing a debit card to be used.
Are there additional requirements when using a Debit Card Car Hire Package at Athens.
Firstly, read the terms and conditions carefully, especially the section detailing accepted cards as this will ensure you are comfortable with the car hire firms requirements, which can be slightly more stringent when hiring without a credit card in Athens.
Do consider whether you want to take out the car hire firms extra insurance. This does often mean that the security deposit is othen lower or removed completely. Bear in mind that if any security or fuel deposit is required then this will be debited from your account when you use a debit card and refunded after your return, and that this can take a week or so.
If you want any additional help when booking please do contact the Clarify team - all of whom are experts in debit card car hire

Debit cards in the lead driver's name are also accepted (Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Diners, UnionPay) for both the security deposit and final payment. Maestro debit cards are also accepted but only for payments and not for guarantee provision.
Hertz must be able to preauthorise the payment and security deposit on the card - if in doubt, please check with your financial institution that preauthorisations are allowed on your card. Hertz do not accept prepaid cards.
If you choose to use a debit card, the deposit will be charged to your debit card - this means you will have to ensure there is sufficient money on the card to cover the deposit, and be aware that this will be unavailable until it is refunded. It can take longer to clear the money than a credit card with a period of 30 days being typical. This is due to the processes employed by banks rather than any delay from the hire company. Due to the period this can take we recommend considering taking Hertz's Full Insurance as most customers find this more convenient. Neither Hertz or Clarify Car Hire take any responsibility for a lower amount being refunded than was debited due to exchange rate fluctuations or bank charges.
Please note that payment for the rental or deposit via a mobile wallet such as Apple Pay, Google Pay, Samsung Pay etc. will not be accepted at the hire desk. The lead driver must present a physical payment card in their name.


American Express and UnionPay are NOT accepted at the following locations:
Parga, Corfu port and city locations, Patra, Chania DT, Rethymno, all Lesvos/Mytilene branches, Kos downtown, Kavala and Thassos.
A security deposit will be pre-authorised at the pick-up, exclusively on a credit or debit card in the name of the driver(s). It is permitted to use a different card for the rental payment, as long as both cards are in the name of the driver(s).
At the time of pick-up, the deposit amount will be blocked (pre-authorised, not debited from your account) on the renter's credit or debit card. The amount will not be charged, but it will be temporarily unavailable until the end of the rental. The release of the blocked amount depends on the cardholders bank, and the exact timing may vary.
Alamo are not responsible for any insufficient fund charges or bank fees related to this process.
Please be aware that if you use your debit card for the security deposit and/or the fuel deposit it can take up to 30 days for this to reach your account once it has been refunded by the car hire supplier at the end of the rental. This is due to international banking systems not due to delays by either the car hire company or Clarify Car Hire.
Please note that payment for the rental or deposit via a mobile wallet such as Apple Pay, Google Pay, Samsung Pay etc. will not be accepted at the hire desk. The lead driver must present a physical payment card in their name.
