Debit Card Car Hire at Corfu Airport







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.
