The only method of payment accepted absolutely by all the car rental companies is the credit car. If you have one and want to use it, you won’t have any hassle when renting a car. Credit cards often make it easier to rent a car and offer a wide range of different types of discounts. Remember that credit cards are not the same as debit cards. The latter are not always accepted by rental agencies. However, this method of payment is not too inconvenient, since it doesn’t cause too many problems: in spite of not being what companies prefer (credit cards), debit cards are usually accepted without much trouble. Of course, certain companies have a firm policy about this point and they will accept neither this method of payment nor cash. Every time you want to rent a car without a credit card you will have to consult the company first.
You will find problems to rent a car in case you want to pay in cash. Practically, there isn’t any rental business which accepts cash to pick up the car. They may accept cash to return it, but almost never to pick it up. Only small and home companies allow picking up the car with cash, but big chains don’t. In case you want to pick up the car in cash, you must know the following:
 You will find many objections on the part of the car rental companies.
In order to authorize a person to deposit cash to pick up the car an investigation is carried out, so you will have to inform your address, phone number and paid bills. This procedure takes rather long.
In case the company accepts cash to pick up the car, you will be required to deposit a surcharge which far exceeds the original amount. This surcharge won’t be returned to you immediately, but it will be mailed to your house after a rather long time.
When picking up the car by paying in cash you will encounter limitations regarding car makes, models and rental duration (a minimum and maximum quantity of days).
If you are from a different city or state, the agency will probably ask you to show them your return ticket or even they may retain it until you return the vehicle.
