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.

Debit cards in the lead driver's name are also accepted (Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Diners, UnionPay, Maestro) for both the security deposit and final payment. 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.
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.
