- apta 6y agoOther than renting a car or a hotel room, it seems you can conduct most if not all of your affairs without a credit card. Credit cards can be relegated to those limited transactions.
- kube-system 6y agoMost of the large car rental companies in the US will let you rent with a deposit on a debit card.
- jobigoud 6y agoI don't know anyone personally that owns a "credit" card. Virtually nobody uses them here in France and I think in the rest of Europe, it's always debit card. Never had an issue with renting cars.
- namdnay 6y agoIt is a common issue for French people renting cars outside of France - search on Google, there are hundreds of angry people who ended up with no car because agencies in other countries refuse debit cards (debit immediat)
- hadrien01 6y agoWhy would renting agencies refuse debit cards? You get your money, just like credit cards...
- alt_f4 6y agoThat's not true at all. It's certainly not common to require credit cards for car rentals in Europe. Must be an American thing.
- jobigoud 6y agoI should have been more specific, In the past few years I have rented cars in Europe, in the US, in South Africa and in Australia. Never had an issue. I generally use Avis or Budget, sometimes a local company.
- Nursie 6y ago>Virtually nobody uses them here in France and I think in the rest of Europe, Definitely not the case here in the UK, credit cards are very common.
