‘Wrong’ type of credit card wrecked my Enterprise car hire pickup

A traveller was unable to collect their hired car from Enterprise Rent-A-Car in France because they presented a Visa credit card issued by First Direct, which apparently did not meet the company's requirements. This situation highlights the importance of having the correct type of credit card when picking up a hire car. If a traveller does not have the right card, they may face delays or even be left without a vehicle, which can cause inconvenience and additional expenses.
