These comments are very helpful. As a college student, I had my fair share of credit cards, and the debt that came with them. Now older, I refuse to get another one. Although I have enjoyed my freedom from high interest rates and temptations, it seems businesses really frown on this, regardless of what you have in the bank.

sitting on a bus, late for my grandfather’s funeral because Enterprise on Fulton street in manhattan would not rent me a car with a debit card. I had pay stubs and utility bills, but have a PA license, so they refused. I have more than enough money in my account to cover the rental cost. The heartless man behind the counter did not blink as I teared up and told him I had this funeral to go to. I recently got out of a huge amount of CC debt and am proud that I no longer live on credit. Disgusted with Enterprise and their policies that they don’t mention until you’re standing at the counter.

I tried using a debit card at hertz, they did a credit check, was denied. Account has thousands of dollars in it. For the hell of it, I gave them my paypal debit card. Using this card, I DID pass their credit check but did not have the funds available. This makes absolutely no sense to me. Why would they get two different credit reports from two different cards? Nissan (my car was being repaired and thats why i needed the rental) even offered to send them a purchase order for the rental, and pay for it because of problems I had already had at Nissan that they were very kind to fix. Hertz said “we don’t do things like that anymore.” I asked if I could use the one card for the credit check and then hold the funds for the rental on my other card… couldn’t do that either. All in all they have very stingy, questionable policies and I have no way of finding out why one was denied and the other wasn’t.

I just spoke to an Enterprise rep and although she was very friendly, she told me I needed to have full coverage auto insurance to rent a car with a debit card.

The problem is, I don’t own a car. So I don’t _have_ auto insurance. So for me, renting a car with a debit card is not possible. At least not with Enterprise.

I recently rented through Dollar in Miami Beach and they accepted my wife’s debit card from the Cayman Islands without a problem – mind you, they were not cheap for a month’s rental – over $1000.

Enterprise would not accept our debit card because it was not from a U.S. Bank and we do not have U.S. Drivers Licenses – has we been US residents a debit card would have been OK. Shame because their rates were reasonable.

Latest quote from a local independent with a cash deposit of $200 was $43 per day! A lot of money over the course of a month.
