Can anyone confirm is there a cash machine in the arrivals area at Fuerteventura airport, need cash for car hire deposit this time as I have been told CC can't be used for a hire more than 4 weeks.
There is a Bankia one almost facing you as you walk into departures from outside John.
Hire car deposit? Perhaps you're hiring from the wrong people.
A car hire firm which does not take credit cards seems a bit dodgy for a start.
Use Payless.es no deposit. Good cars. Good prices And desk in terminal.

We have hired from Autoreisen on a number of occasions -the longest being 10 weeks. The Company admin did not vary. Always no hassle !

They are probably concerned that things may happen to the credit card during a long hire, though I don't know what, nor how to get round it.
I also think the OP may not necessarily have meant to write the word
deposit, but possibly meant rental.
There is a cash machine to the right hand side of the big doors as you come through arrivals
If you hire a car for four weeks or longer, car hire firms can't rely on the charge they reserve on your credit card (the card provider only allows reservations up to one month), so it's not unusual to be asked for a cash deposit.

Thanks for the info re Cash Machines.
In answer to all the points above -
I already have the money in my account over on Fuerteventura so want to draw on that forgot to take it out before we left last time there.
Deposit needed as I am not taking the extra insurance due to having annual hire car cover for £39pa It is a deposit they will take the hire payment on my Sol Bank debit card ok.
As Logitechtom says as the car hire is for 6 weeks cash needed as apparently CC deposits are only good for up to 4 weeks.
Cheers all, looking forward to getting there in 8 days.

I would be interested to know who you are renting the car from. I always use Cicar and full insurance is included, not an extra, and I have never been asked for a deposit on a long rental.
Enjoy your trip.

Top Car AutoReisen who we have used for the last 3 years, will look at Cicar for February.
Update, just checked and Cicar are 1.55â,¬ a day dearer for Dec to Jan hire & 2.55â,¬ a day dearer for a hire of 67 days Feb to April for comparable 2 door cars.
That price includes full insurance and although I always book the smallest, cheapest car I always end up with a larger one for the same price. No deposits, no extras and return with fuel as started with. At least your not going with Gold Star.
Interestingly I had this e.mail on Friday:
