Info regarding Renting a Car

I realize that most people on this board have credit cards and use them for most things. If you do not, however, and only have a debit card, the following applies to you.

While most rental agencies will require a credit card to cover the deposit for your rental car, some will accept your debit card. However, to protect themselves, they may pull your credit report if you’re paying with a debit card. This could potentially result in a hard credit inquiry, which will lower your credit score a few points. If you’re planning on renting with a debit card, ask first if the agency will be performing a hard credit inquiry.

Just a tid bit i thought i'd pass along because i had not heard of this before.
