There are many car rental companies that do not require customers to pay with a major credit card. Generally, a debit card or something similar is required. In certain situations, if the proper documentation is provided you can use cash, assuming you are over 25. Proper documentation includes a drivers' license, pay stub, utility bill, or any similar document that verifies your address.

    Enterprise

  1. Enterprise is among the more popular car rental companies due to their door-to-door pick up service made famous via the slogan "Pick Enterprise and we'll pick you up." Enterprise allows drivers to rent with a debit card as opposed to a major credit card. Customers must bring something to prove their address such as a lease or utility bill, and they must have a valid driver's license. If you wish to use cash, you must be over 25. You may use cash if you provide a valid driver's license for the state in which you are renting. You must also prove that you live in the local area, again via a utility bill or something of that nature. You must pay the entire rental fee with a $100 additional deposit. Upon returning the car, you will receive that deposit back.
  2. Alamo

  3. Alamo rentals are intended for travelers. To rent a car with a debit card you must be over the age of 25, with exceptions for certain types of accounts. Yo'll need proof of a round trip travel ticket.

    To rent from Alamo using cash, an additional $300 deposit is required and the person must meet Alamo's renting requirements. She also must provide proof of residence via a utility bill or lease.
  4. E-Z Rent-A-Car

  5. Another thing to keep in mind is that state laws affect car rental policies. Call the car rental agency you are considering and explain your situation and see if they can help you. E-Z Rent-A-Car, a fantastic resource, has several other useful tips if you're renting a car without a major credit card.
