You can’t rent a vehicle without a credit card.
I did, with my debit card.
I believe these are what is more popular with many of the younger generation now for things that many of us use to swipe a card for. Many of them will also give you a small line of credit on it, for a fee.
I paid all mine off a few years ago and tore them up, but since have picked up a $1k card from the store my wife works at.
I get a 10% employee discount because of her, and the store offers shopper specials when you can get an additional 10% off if you use the store card that day. I use it, then walk over to the service desk and pays the bill I just charged right on the spot.
20% is always better than 10%...
I have, many times.
