Can I Hire a Car Without a Credit Card?

Do You Need a Credit Card to Hire a Car?

No. At Abacus Vehicle Hire, you don't necessarily need a credit card to hire a car.

We accept a range of payment cards for vehicle hire, including debit cards, making it easier for customers who don't use credit cards. The payment card used for the hire must be in the name of the main driver.

Why Is a Deposit Required?

Like most vehicle hire companies, we take a refundable security deposit when you collect your vehicle.

This deposit helps cover potential costs that may arise during the hire period, such as damage, missing fuel, or other charges outlined in the rental agreement. Once the vehicle is returned in accordance with the hire terms, the deposit is refunded.

What Payment Methods Are Accepted?

At Abacus Vehicle Hire, we accept major payment cards for vehicle hire and security deposits.

To avoid delays when collecting your vehicle, it's important to ensure that the card used for payment is valid and belongs to the main driver named on the booking.
