• Debit with a return ticket: Debit pickup is limited to Economy, Compact, Intermediate, Standard, Full-Size and Standard SUV groups; the broad SUV choice does not confirm the booked group. The exact branch requires an accepted debit-card processing logo, the renter's name and a return airline ticket coinciding with the rental. A credit-worthiness check applies; an Equifax freeze must be lifted, and this does not guarantee approval. With a non-U.S. licence, present the licence plus a passport or a Canadian enhanced licence. With a Mexico-issued licence, a valid travel visa may replace the passport as secondary ID. NEXUS does not replace these documents. This branch identity rule is separate from the previously reviewed country IDP/translation rule. Published hold amounts are discretionary guidance; the selected reservation and counter authorization control.

• Debit with a return ticket: Bring a physical bank-issued Visa or Mastercard debit card embossed in the renter's name; prepaid, loadable, and payroll cards do not qualify. Bring the required address-matching document; a non-Metro Atlanta renter may use a qualifying return-air confirmation instead. Purchase LDW, leave the published $1,500 damage deposit, or present transferable comprehensive and collision insurance for verification. Qualifying address documents must match the licence; a second document is required if they do not. Metro Atlanta residents need a listed document dated within 45 days with no overdue/negative account; nonlocal renters may use return-air confirmation instead. Budget Atlanta's locally operated franchise requires a major credit card and a valid passport with any non-U.S. licence. An IDP is only a translation alongside the original licence; it cannot replace it.
