Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What documents do I need to collect my car?
You need your valid UK driving photocard licence, your passport or national ID card, your booking confirmation voucher, and an accepted payment card (credit or debit) in the main driver's name. For UK rentals, remember your DVLA licence check code.
Can I hire a car in the UK with a debit card?
Yes. Many leading suppliers permit debit cards for deposits provided the card is an embossed Visa or Mastercard in the main driver's name with adequate cleared funds.
How does DiscoverCars Full Coverage work?
Full Coverage reimburses your excess deductible up to £3,000 in the event of bodywork damage, windshield chips, tire punctures, lost keys, or towing costs. It costs a fraction of the price charged at airport rental desks.
