Car Hire With No Deposit

A large security deposit held on a credit card is one of the most commonly cited frustrations with conventional car hire. RentWith works with a network of suppliers that offer low-deposit and no-deposit car hire options across the UK, removing this barrier for customers who either do not hold a credit card or simply prefer to keep their available credit free while travelling.

The conventional hire model requires a credit card hold of several hundred pounds at the time of collection — this sits as a pending charge on your account for the full duration of the hire and is released when the car is returned without damage. While this protects the hire company, it can be inconvenient for customers who are managing their finances carefully or who do not carry a credit card as a matter of preference.

No-deposit hire eliminates or significantly reduces this upfront hold. Many of our partner suppliers accept a small debit card payment at the time of hire rather than the larger credit card security hold associated with traditional hire companies. This is a practical arrangement that opens up car hire to a broader range of customers without compromising on the quality or availability of vehicles.

Availability of no-deposit options varies by location, vehicle type, and hire period. Smaller, lower-value vehicles are more commonly available on this basis than larger or higher-value cars. Our team will always be honest with you about what is available at your preferred location before you commit to anything.

Transparency is central to how we work. Before your hire begins, we will clearly confirm what is required upfront, what the excess is in the event of damage, and what your total financial exposure amounts to. There are no hidden administrative fees, no surprise additions at the collection point, and no last-minute revelations about charges. Everything is agreed and understood before you arrive.

Insurance is always included in your hire, regardless of whether a deposit is taken. Even on no-deposit arrangements, an excess may apply in the event of damage to the vehicle — this is standard practice across the hire industry and protects both the supplier and the customer. Fully comprehensive insurance options and reduced excess packages are available on most hire agreements if you want additional peace of mind.
