If your credit is a mess they may think you would be more likely to take off with a car and sell it.

They run the credit to see what kind of risk you are. They could also tie the rental rates to your credit score. Ever go in and try and get an advertised rate only to be surprised with a much higher one later? They do the same thing when you get auto insurance. The theory is that the worse your credit is the less responsible and high risk you are.

I think it's more to check out the character of the person who is renting....I guess they figure that if you pay your bills your probably going to return their car

They're checking you out in case you bring the car back thrashed. They want to make sure you can pay for it.
