I know a lot of car rental companies require you to have a secured credit card because I’ve tried to use check cards with them before and they made me use the VISA. Maybe not all of them do, but it seems every time I had to rent they did and I used to be on business travel anywhere from 75-150 days a year so, well, this one I got to know pretty well.
If the drug dealer gets busted the cops keep the car that they were driving.
I’ve only flown once but have since gotten rid of my ‘plastic’...may need to fly again later this year not sure how this will work out.
