I had a harsh experience while on vacation recently.
In Miami, I was utterly and completely refused a rental car because I didn't have credit history. Never mind that I could buy one of their cars, cash. They didn't want to hear it.

- mahyarm 15y agoCredit history or credit card? Joe foreigner from timbuktu and no credit history system can usually still rent a car with a deposit. They take the same risk when they rent a car to a person who swipes with a low limit credit card too, but just enough to cover the rental fee.
- im3w1l 15y agoClearly, your credit market is very inefficient.
- jrockway 15y agoI have this same problem. I don't have a driver's license, so I'm not allowed to rent cars. Outrageous! Taxis and public transportation work fine, though.
- aristus 15y agoI don't normally rise to your mocking/trolling/whatever, jrockway. I am glad you are content with your life and transport choices. In the past, I have never had problems renting cars. I rented one in Mexico the month previous, no problem. But now there is another requirement for car rental in the US, which is hard to acquire. It was massively inconvenient to find this out in the middle of a trip to Miami, which has virtually no public transportation or taxis, and spread out over nearly 80km.
