Do I need a credit card to rent a car?

Asked a year ago
Yes, a credit card is required to rent a car from Alamo. As part of the rental process, a credit card is necessary to secure and authorize a deposit, which covers any potential damages or additional charges incurred during the rental period. Alamo does not accept cash or debit cards for rental transactions. Having a credit card ensures a smooth and hassle-free rental experience, allowing for quick authorization and potential convenience regarding the return process. It is advisable to review Alamo's specific credit card requirements and policies to understand any additional conditions or restrictions associated with renting a car.
