Before you rely on a policy
Amounts and eligibility can change by branch, vehicle, card, and booking. A pending hold is different from a settled charge.

- If no ticketed return itinerary, available credit may need to cover the rental estimate plus a $200–$850 deposit depending on location and vehicle.
- Rental cost plus an additional security deposit may be required; branch determines exact amount.
- At US airport pickup, debit cards at time of rental require a ticketed return travel itinerary and other restrictions.
- Some non-airport locations may accept debit and request utility bills, proof of income, insurance or references.

Check the rule against your booking
- Distinguish online payment from card acceptance at the counter.
- Check return travel, local residence, credit check and ID conditions.
- Confirm vehicle categories that allow debit pickup.
- Save the location terms and signed agreement before leaving the counter.
