Hiring a motor with just a debit card

[Struck]

Alright lads, bit of a sticky one. I'm heading to Turkey this summer but I've only got a debit card, no credit card at all. Is it even possible to get a rental sorted over there or am I stuck with buses and taxis the whole trip?

Plenty of local firms along the coast have ditched the old credit card rule, they just take the full insurance upfront and you are sorted. Quite a few travellers manage to rent a decent motor without any credit nonsense and just pick up the car on arrival around Turkey with a standard debit card, no frozen deposits at all. The daily rate runs a bit higher compared to standard bookings, but there is zero stress about holds.

Read the insurance details twice. With these debit deals the excess for a scratch on the bumper can be quite steep, so grabbing the full protection at the counter is worth those extra few quid.
