• Using Bunq credit card for services (e.g. car rental)

@Flo1979#125326 Ich werde heute zum ersten mal versuchen da anzumieten in Düsseldorf hoffe die nehmen es ohne zu mucken:))

    Wie hoch war denn jeweils ungefähr der Betrag, der bei euch auf der Travelcard "geblockt" wurde?

      300€ ja
      Außer du möchtest n dicken SUV oder so mieten, dann mehr 😬

            hi! I just want to share my terrible experience renting a car with Sixt in Montpellier Airport - France.
            I called them before traveling to France to confirm they would accept my card, they confirmed they accept "mastercard credit card" and that should be ok.
            But once I got there, they said that my card was NOT a credit card and they couldn't use it for deposit, the numbers were not embossed and refused to rent me the car. I called the Sixt customer services and they couldn't do anything about it.
            That completely ruined my holidays.

              And that was against Mastercard's rules

                Thanks for that info! Pretty useful. But I'm thinking now what I should do to avoid this to happen again...

                        @Robbebob#231589 still not with Hertz as of June 2022. Seems like they are simply declining out of spite

                          This is just to inform that I could rent a minivan with Bo-Rent in Ypenburg with no problems using Bunq's Mastercard.
                          Took almost a week to be reimbursed, otherwise no further problems.

                            @bunq#227273 still not in The Netherlands

                              wij hebben vandaag onze visakaart ontvangen. we gaan binnenkort op vakantie,
                              en wilde zeker zijn dat we geen gezeur krijgen bij de autoverhuur. de proefboeking
                              ging wel goed, maar wilde het risico niet lopen dat onze onze bunq kaart niet geaccepteerd woord

                                My car rental (at the Amsterdam Schipol Airport) was denied as I had produced the Bunq Credit Card (physical). They mentioned that they will not accept Bunq or Revolut cards as they are not a standard bank. I lost my car rental booking, my vacation plans got ruined and I had to stand in the airport for hours to fight this battle which was lost at the end!

                                I am genuinely considering to close my Bunq bank account, as it feels like so many people are being affected.

                                  @New-Azure-Cheetah-206677089#292864 Unfortunately, there are indeed still some car rental companies that don't accept cards from neo banks like bunq
