in Credit cards
Hi, I am a bad lass as far as the credit gods and so can only get pay as you go - it seems that i MUST have a credit card of sorts to hire a car in Ibiza - any recommendations as to the best/cheapest?

    Mose pre-paid cards cannot be used for car hire. The only one I have comes across which can is Cash Plus You have to contact them once you receive the card to have this function enabled.

    You simply top the card up at a PayPoint or via BACS etc and spend as usual. There is normally a fee for issuing the card and for loading the card with funds.

    They are prepaid debit cards really as you cant get any credit on them.

    So they're much the same as a dd card but with a usage fee - thanks for letting me know :cool:
