There are two ways in which this question can be answered. The first is that you can pay for the total costs of the rental car with your debit, once you return it safely to the location that you agreed upon in your rental agreement, as debit cards can be used as cash. However, there is a more complicated answer and that is if you can use a debit card to actually rent the vehicle.
In many cases, rental car companies will deny and even lie about their acceptance of debit cards to rent a vehicle. When you rent a car, the company that you choose will hold your credit card information for the duration of your rental and will often times place a certain amount of your credit line on hold to use in the event that you damage their investment. The same can be accomplished with a debit card, but because it is not a line of credit and not issued directly from a major credit company, they are more weary of using them.
After you’ve gotten them to admit that you can use a debit card you will often find that additional deposits must be made when you pick up your vehicle. This means that, on top of the money ($250-$750) that they will put a hold on while it’s in your account, you may also be required to leave a cash deposit of up to $2,000. All of this is to make sure that you pay the amount specified in your rental agreement should there be any damage to the car while it’s in your care.

Obtaining a car rental at a cheap price used to be a difficult task. In the past, you would have to go from business to business and tireless negotiate the costs and take a pen and paper in order to find the best price. Even after all that trouble, you’d still be stuck with a high rate resulting in a hefty charge. Today, there is no reason for this and you can find car rentals for a relatively cheap price.
The rise of the use of the internet has caused companies to lower their rates and provide cheaper car rental service in order to remain competitive in the market. You can utilize the World Wide Web in order to find the companies that offer the best deal in order to secure the best rental price available. Simply use the search bar to indicate when you will need your car rental and compare the costs of renting a vehicle all in one place. This will help you secure your rental needs without the extra burden of a high cost.
Another way to save on your car rental is to prepay. Many companies offer incentives for prepaying that can allow you to save up to fifteen percent on your car rental. This is a good idea if you know for sure that your plans for car rental will not change.
Finally, consider renting a car from a location other than an airport. Many airport rental companies increase their price due to the convenience. Finding a rental just outside of the airport will reduce this cost immensely and help you save.
