Any idea what the basis for refusing "debit" cards is?
None whatsoever.
I've heard that one concern is that debit cards will often not hold a high enough balance to be used as a security deposit. How this applies in terms of rental cars is a bit beyond me.
Me, either. Perhaps this rental agency has had a rash of chargebacks? The strange part is, when the car gets rented they don't run a charge authorization, just check if the card's valid. (if they did run a validation, mine would have bounced because the Visa card they would accept was quite full) - -- Roy M.
