for one reason or another, don't want to rent cars. Personally, I don't do credit cards of any kind. To the best of my knowledge, you can't rent a car without one. If someone here knows of car companies that will rent to you if all you carry is a debit card, it would be helpful to post the info.
My other thought is, there may be other people like me who just don't like driving strange cars...and who don't care to set themselves up as a target by driving a car with a rental sticker on it. I know CA doesn't have the type of problems with this that FL has had, but, still, as a single mom I would rather have safe transportation to and from the beach, rather than having to worry about making myself a target for crime!
