Can I pay deposit with DEBIT card?

Agent

Look here, and it will tell you:- Next to each vehicle Photo is a link " Terms & Conditions" click on this and then on PAYMENT. For example NU Car rentals say:- We accept American Express Visa Master Card and Discover card A security deposit will be held at the start of the rental. It will include the estimated amount of the rental plus a deposit of 200.00USD. This amount may vary depending on the vehicle type and the length of rental. These funds will no longer be available for immediate use and may take up to 30 days - depending on your bank - to become available. We will not be responsible for any returned checks or insufficient fund charges or bank fees related to this process. Debit Cards are NOT an accepted form of payment or qualification. Cash is not accepted for qualification at the time of rental but may be used for payment upon return of the vehicle. A major Credit Card is still required to qualify to rent. Vouchers and prepaid cards are not accepted. For all prepaid rentals - the person who prepaid for the rental must be present with the same credit card in his or her own name that was used to prepay the reservation in order to pick up the rental. There will be a 200.00USD deposit for prepaid rentals.
