Can I rent a car if I have no credit card at Glasgow Airport?
Yes - you certainly can - we have a number of car hire firms who allow bookings with a debit card - you cannot use cash though (for security reasons). Do book early if you can to ensure you get the car you want, as supply of debit card friendly car deals can be limited.
Are there any special conditions for those hiring with a debit card at Glasgow Airport?
Debit card car rental deals can differ slightly from those open to credit card holders. You may need to provide additional identification documents and some companies may require evidence of a return flight ticket as a prerequisite for debit card hires.
Many of the debit card user car hire packages are offered from the car hire company with extended insurance cover. This often means that the excess level of security deposit is lower or set at zero. This is advantageous as when you pick your car up, any deposits required are debited to your account. With a lower deposit, you will have less funds tied up. Any refunds are applied after the car is returned but do bear in mind that the money can take a few days to reach your account.
Our customer service team are ready to take your call if you have any further questions regarding debit card car hire at Glasgow Airport.
