It depends on the company, the airport and your card: 6 of the 6 companies with reviewed debit-card rules accept a debit card under conditions, and fixed young-driver fees run $19–$35 a day across 9 companies at 15 U.S. airports (checked 19 October 2026).
Check your airport, age, licence and pickup card against published supplier rules. See conditions, deposit estimates and missing evidence before you book.

What decides pickup eligibility
A reservation can still fail at the counter.
The useful question is not just “can I book?” It is whether the exact branch can verify the main driver, accept the pickup card and place the required hold for that trip.
Driver and licence
Match age, licence country, alphabet or translation, licence-held period, IDP and additional-driver status. Temporary documents can remain conditional.
Check licence evidencePhysical card and funds
Separate online payment from the physical pickup card. Check the main-driver name, card type, credit or account balance and the branch-specific hold.
Check card requirementsBranch and itinerary
Airport debit rules can depend on a ticketed return itinerary, residence evidence, vehicle class and the exact location—not only the supplier brand.
Check deposit and itineraryCurrent official examples
- Enterprise at MCO: a debit-card pickup needs a ticketed return itinerary; virtual or online-only cards are not accepted at pickup; and prepaid cards cannot secure the rental. Checked . Enterprise official source · Full Enterprise MCO record
- SIXT at MCO: the MCO branch page and SIXT's U.S. terms disagree about debit cards, so we show Conflict rather than a yes; and a physical card is required at pickup. Checked . SIXT official source · Full SIXT MCO record
