20yrspommie Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 Any ideas on how you go about this? We have a good credit record in Australia but no history in the UK. We need a credit acrd to rent a car at Heathrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest proud2beaussie Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 You should not have any trouble using an Australian credit card especially if you book the car online before you leave. Sorry I don't have a clue about getting a UK card but HSBC recently set up UK accounts for me because I have accounts in Australia with them and they were able to issue new cards for me to use when I travel to the UK,which I do regularly. Not sure about other banks though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quoll Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 Are you keeping an Aussie bank account open for a while that you could continue to use your Aus credit card? It cant take you that long to get a credit card as I know both my boys got one without too much hassle and no one in their right minds would have given them one:biglaugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
