If you have a debit card with the MasterCard or Visa logos, most companies will let you use that to book a rental, but will ask for a second piece of ID (most often, a return airline ticket). Here's the policy at Avis:

Note: They won't accept a prepaid debit card--it has to be the kind of debit card that's linked to a bank account.
A few companies will accept cash, but you'll need to leave a few hundred $ as deposit, plus show several forms of ID and a return ticket. Here's Alamo's policy:

Definitely make your reservation in advance. And ask customer service about the policy before your trip--you don't want any surprises when you arrive!
Also, it's probably best to make your reservation at an airport location--they're likely to be more experienced with these unusual cases, and won't freak out . . .

definite, you will ought to cutting-edge a mastercard once you p.c.. up the vehicle. once you hire the vehicle, the 'ordinary' insurance has a extra, that's regularly approximately 500 euros. the vehicle hire company will use the mastercard to conceal this extra. So if your mothers and dads have a accident, and the vehicle is broken, they're going to could pay as much as 500 euros for the wear. that's regularly particular in the 'information' of the vehicle hire contract. it is not conceivable to hire a motor vehicle in any u . s . devoid of proposing a mastercard while gathering the vehicle.

Debit card? Otherwise you're outta luck. You will also find that motels/hotels prefer/expect you to pay on card rather than cash.
