Question 1

Why do I need a credit card to hire a car at London Gatwick Airport?

Accepted Answer

A credit card is typically required to secure the hire and cover any additional charges, such as tolls, damages, or fuel, that may occur during the hire period. The card must be in the primary driver's name to ensure that the renter is financially responsible for the vehicle. In some locations, debit cards may be accepted, but they often require additional documentation or a credit check.

Additionally, the amount of excess (the amount you're responsible for in case of damage or theft) you select will also affect the insurance price. Some options may offer zero-excess insurance for added peace of mind, though these may come at a higher cost.
