Debit Card Car Hire at Bologna Airport





Debit Card Car Rental at Bologna Airport
We have a great range of rental cars available if you want to hire a car at Bologna Airport with a debit card. A large number of people do not have a credit card and it can be frustrating when trying to find a rental car. We offer the ideal solution with our special debit card car hire page which will only show you car hire deals where such cards can be used.
Are there any Special Conditions when hiring a car using a Debit Card in Bologna?
Check each car hire carefully as there may be special conditions imposed if you are using a debit card for your booking. You may need to provide flight details or a secondary form of identification. Once you have selected your car please read the accepted cards and identification sections of the terms carefully so you are fully up to speed with the requirements.
Some car hire companies will only offer packages which include their top-up insurance to debit card users. This can have the advantage that the security deposit or excess is lower. With all the car hire deals we suggest reading the terms and conditions carefully to make sure they work for you.
Can I rent a car at Bologna Airport with No Credit Card?
Yes you can - be aware that the major difference when using a debit card is that your car will be debited with the security deposit - rather than it being preauthorised as is the case if you have a credit card. Any refund you are entitled to will be refunded upon your return although it can take a number of days to be refunded back to your account. For this reason many hirers also select a car hire package with a lower deposit (you can select this using the filter on the results page).
We have an FAQ section which may help with any extra questions you have but otherwise we have a very knowledgeable customer service team who will be happy to assist you.
