With a debit card the deposit is usually taken from your account and refunded after you return the car. Keep the amount available in your account.
Some rental companies only accept a debit card if you add their full cover. Whether this applies at your station and for your rate is set out in the rental terms. Check them before you book.

All figures are samples with a date, not a promise. Whether the debit card works at your station and for your rate is set out in the rental company's terms and conditions.
How we count
Our figures come from a weekly sample: every week we count, for each airport, the offers for a pick-up in 4 weeks, 7 days. We count offers where the portal names a debit card for the deposit or asks for no card. For QEEQ the statement only counts if DiscoverCars confirms it for the same rental company at the same airport.
Offers that need a credit card, or where the portal says nothing clear, are not counted. These are snapshots, not a promise.
The weekly sample
Every week we count, for each airport, the offers for a pick-up in 4 weeks, 7 days. Source: DiscoverCars and information from QEEQ that DiscoverCars confirms for the same rental company at the same airport.
These figures are from 20 Oct 2026, 35 airports. At 29 of them there were offers without a credit card, at the others none. The list grows every week.
How much more does it cost?
On average (median), the cheapest offer without a credit card was €35 above the cheapest offer overall at the same airport, for 7 days. At 7 of the 29 airports with such offers the difference was less than €10. This does not include full cover that some rental companies require at the desk when you use a debit card.
