I want to rent a car at the Airport of Raleigh Durham but only have a debit card, do you accept Debit Card?

Agent

Start to make a search inserting your search criteria into the search engine and press SEARCH. At the result page (where you see car photos), scroll a bit down. You will see a filter ¨Cards accepted at pick-up ¨ . Tick de box ¨ Both Credit and Debit Cards ¨. Now results will be shown based on your selection. Click on the link ¨Terms and Conditions ¨and look under policies what they say about Debit Card use for the security deposit.

OK, I did. So car rental providers Dollar and Thrifty accept Debit Card?

Agent

Thats correct, for example Thrifty say this about Debit Cards:- At the time of rental, an authorized hold will be secured on your credit/debit card provided to cover the estimated rental charges and any additional charges that may be incurred. These funds will not be available for your use for the duration of the rental. We will place an authorization amount of $200 for a Major Credit Card and $500 for a Debit Check Card.
