I'm renting a car from budget tomorrow. Just wondering if I can use a prepaid credit card, since I do not own a credit card. They also do not accept debit cards. I know I used a prepaid card before when I rented from U HAUL. Thanks in advanced

You should contact them. I know that a prepaid card is almost the same as a credit card or debit card. They may require that you have a deposit on the card for example they may require that you have a $500 deposit available on the card. you should defly call and check with them so the outcome won't inconvenience you of they don't accept it. Good Luck!

If you have 10k on it, you should be ok as long as it has the Visa/MC logo on the front and can be run as a credit transaction. Just expect the car rental company to place a hold on a good chunk of the money (maybe $300 or so) that won't be released until you return the car in good condition. Also, find out what the insurance and age requirements are. In some places, you have to be 25 to rent a car.

Prepaid credit card uses Not only can a prepaid card enable customers who find it hard to get credit, but this type of card can help you take control of your finances, if you have found normal credit card interest rates too high and the balance offered too tempting. You can be confident that you will stick to your budget with a pre-paid card, as you are the one who sets it by deciding how much to top-up your card with!
Most prepaid credit cards can enable you to: No longer have to carry cash when shopping Use an ATM to withdraw money - at home and abroad Transfer funds - send money to other cardholders Shop on the internet with security Top up your mobile phone Have an additional prepaid credit card.

You should have asked Budget, when they told you they won't accept debit cards. I would guess you could, but I would have guessed they would accept debit cards as well.
