Booking your vehicle with Cargo Hire is straightforward and secure. We prioritise complete transparency when it comes to hiring costs and security deposits, ensuring you face no unexpected surprises at the collection desk. This page explains our payment methods and deposit policies to help you prepare for a smooth handover.
We accept most major debit and credit cards, including Visa and Mastercard. To protect against fraud, the primary cardholder must attend the branch in person and present the physical card used for the booking. Please note we do not accept American Express or Visa Electron.
For our commercial clients, we provide dedicated business account facilities with flexible credit terms, subject to a standard application and approval process.
Every vehicle hire requires a security deposit. We hold this amount separately from your main hire fee through a pre-authorisation on your payment card. The exact deposit value varies depending on the type of vehicle you choose and the age of the driver. For instance, young drivers between 23 and 25 must provide a higher security deposit.
Accepted Deposit Methods
You must provide a physical credit or debit card for the deposit pre-authorisation, and the cardholder must be present. For security compliance, we cannot accept contactless payments or digital wallets such as Apple Pay or Google Pay for this specific transaction.
We retain the pre-authorised funds for the length of your hire period. Once you return the car or van to us in its original condition, we immediately instruct your bank to release the deposit. Keep in mind that the time it takes for the funds to reappear in your available balance depends entirely on the standard processing speeds of your specific bank or card provider.
