Can I hire a car with a debit card?

Debit-card car hire is possible with some suppliers, but the conditions matter.

Many rental companies still require a credit card in the main driver's name for the security deposit.

Where debit cards are accepted, suppliers may require extra ID, return travel proof, address checks, or higher deposits.

Prepaid cards, virtual cards, and cards without embossed details may be refused by some desks.

Filter carefully and read the payment-card terms before booking.
