Question 1

Why do I need a credit card to hire a car at London Heathrow 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.

Question 2

Do I need a valid passport to hire a car at London Heathrow Airport?

Accepted Answer

A valid passport is typically required for international customers renting a vehicle. For domestic renters, a valid driver’s license is usually sufficient. In the United States and Canada, U.S. and Canadian residents generally only need a valid driver’s license. In Europe, residents of EU countries can often hire with just a driver’s license from their home country. Always verify the specific identification requirements with the hire company, as they can vary based on the country and region.

If you plan to explore areas outside the city or need the flexibility of having your own vehicle, then renting a car might be beneficial.

Always check the local driving laws and ensure you're comfortable with the driving conditions before deciding to hire a car.

Question 10

Should I purchase extra insurance when renting a car at London Heathrow Airport, LHR?

Accepted Answer

All hire companies require valid insurance for financial protection; without it, your hire request may be denied. You might not need additional insurance if you already have coverage that applies to international hires for your chosen car type or class, or if your credit card provides insurance for hires abroad.
