The most amusing one they had where they said you don't need a credit card to rent a car. Then one of them outlined all they had to go through to get Avis to rent him a car using just his debit card. Had to get them to call corporate, who needed to see a credit report and pay stubs. One major rental agency eventually let him rent a car. Another major one refused. A non-major rental agency would not even consider renting him a car without a credit card.
I was at Avis one time and the person in front of me was trying to rent a car with a debit card, but was denied. Apparently, they put hold one the card for the full value of the rental plus the damage deposit and it exceeded the withdrawal limit.
