What this means and which rental companies
According to the provider, the rental company accepts a debit card for the deposit (Visa or Mastercard debit) or asks for no card. Prepaid cards usually don't work. With a debit card the deposit is usually taken from your account rather than just blocked. Some rental companies only accept a debit card if you buy their own extra cover (often full cover) at the counter, which costs extra. Even where no card is needed for the deposit, a cash or fuel deposit may be due at pick-up. Whether and how this applies at your station and for your rate is set out in the rental company's terms; please check them before you book. Not counted are offers that need a credit card or where the portal says nothing clear. For QEEQ the statement only counts if DiscoverCars confirms it for the same rental company.
