We compare prices in real time across Spain's leading car hire companies — showing you which accept debit cards and on what terms
Yes — but it is not always straightforward. Most car hire companies in Spain require a credit card at the desk to cover a security deposit of between 1,000€ and 2,000€. Without that, many suppliers will simply refuse to hand over the vehicle, even if you have a valid booking.
We work specifically with suppliers that accept Visa and Mastercard debit cards, so you can book and collect your car without needing a credit card at any point. The results page clearly shows which suppliers accept debit and under what conditions, so there are no nasty surprises when you arrive at the desk.
The simplest and most reliable option for debit card customers is our Carefree Rate. Because there is no excess deposit required on the Carefree Rate, all our suppliers accept debit cards without restriction. Zero excess, no deposit held, full cover included — and no credit card needed.
With some suppliers, debit cards are also accepted on standard rates — though conditions vary and a deposit may still be held on your card. We show this clearly on the results page so you can choose the option that suits you best.

"Having been given the task to hire a car for my son with 2 days to go. As a young driver with only debit card, I could not find a company to insure him without high surcharges and deposit of at least £1000 payable only on credit card. I found Bravo, and was dealing with Andrew, who had me sorted out within minutes, small deposit. Low young driver charge, and a very reasonable rate. He was very knowledgeable, professional and a pleasure to deal with. Finishing with contacting the car hire company to make sure that they had the correct details from us and that all was good. I cannot recommend Bravo and Andrew highly enough. Thank you for turning a nightmare into a pleasure!!"
"Very helpful. Excellent service and perfect for hiring a car if you don’t own any credit cards and you don’t want to pay a hefty deposit. Recommend 100%."
"Brilliant, do not do credit cards and was pleased to see one that accepts debit cards. Process no longer than 20 mins to complete, highly recommend. Total ease of mind."
