credit cars and car rental
2 Answers
iv just found a rental place which is good, so i paid for it on line straight away. wen i looked at the details later on it says i still need to present a credit card wen collecting it. I have had a bit of problem getting credit. So i was wondering if i can just use a pre paid mastercard from virgin, while i have already paid 4 the car?

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.The reason most car hire companies want your credit card details is to make sure they can recover any uninsured damage/parking/speeding fines etc� incurred during the hire. A prepay card will not necessarily allow them to recover any monies (especially if its balance is zero), and so may not be acceptable to them.
I suggest you contact the hire company and explain the situation. I have heard of hire companies accepting a close relative�s credit card (who was not present at the car collection, by prior arrangement), when the hirer did not hold a credit card.
