These days car hire companies always seem to request a Credit Card.

Years ago when I ran a car hire operation we would take cash deposits covering excess and fuel.

You do need to consider that in most cases a Debit Card should not be used.

You do not have the protection that you have with Credit Cards.

KeefG, if you are booking witha reputable hire company, use you debit card as a guarantee. It's normal practice and nothing to be disturbed about. I've done several hires abroad now, with zero problems.

Best of luck,

Robby :wink:

Good stuff

We'll give it a go when we get out there with our debit cards then.

Cheers :)
