I can't speak for 100% of them, but Hertz, Avis, National, Budget and most of the other majors, do NOT take debit cards.

Some do, some don't. I have NO credit cards, so I only rent from places that will take a debit card or cash deposit. You just need to look on the company website or call a branch or the reservation phone number to find out the exact policy....they're all different.

The ones I have used (Hertz, Avis) do not take debit cards. They told me it was because they cannot place a hold on the funds while the car is in your possession like they can with a credit card.

Some do, some don't. You'll need to check with the individual rental car companies as you make your reservation.

yes, but they will "pre authorize" your card for several hundred dollars as a deposit. check with them prior to renting to get the exact amount. we ran in to this one time & i think it was somewhere around $400...crazy...
