My experience involved an interaction on the phone. The rep said that no amount of money was sufficient for renting a car without a credit card. Debit cards are not accepted regardless of how much balance you have in your account. The rep even refused to consider a cash payment in excess of the total value of the car for a 48 hour rental. He wouldn't rent a $7K vehicle for $10K in cash or debit card hold. This defies logic. There is no reason to refuse an offer like this unless you just don't understand basic business. Additionally, the rep was far from courteous on the phone.
