Booked airfare/car rental/ hotel -not package from same site- and just heard Hertz does a credit check w/ Equifax for debit card users in addition to freezing up to $500 for rental.

This is for Thanksgiving and I prepaid, but now see 'debit cards' can't be used for prepay- eventhough the money has been taken from my checking account.

When I arrive to Hertz, they will do a credit check (so their site says) and due to my extremely low score, I'll be denied.

Anyone know which car rental companies do not run a credit check? I don't mind the funds being frozen, it's the credit check that will do me in.

My plan is to contact Hertz today by email to let them know I pre-paid w/ a debit card and have learned they don't accept that for pre-pay...so for them to cancel the reservation since I don't qualify.

But I need a rental car or I'll have to cancel the whole trip -am visiting my daughter in the Army- first Thanksgiving away from home.

The airport is PHX. Thanks everyone!

Enterprise used to let people under 25 or without credit cards rent, with restrictions. I don't know if they still do.

Let us know if this works...(I wouldn't use email.)

Alamo and National allow rental with debit cards with proof of round trip tickets. They do not put a hold on your card or require a credit check.

Enterprise have a similar policy but it does vary by location. You would have to check specifically on PHX. I would guess that Enterprise PHX would support the policy.

Budget also accept debit cards but put varying holds depending on location.

Dollar/Thrifty do a credit check plus put a hold on at most locations.
