  • 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.
