Car Hire in Canada

Hi

We are going to Canada in December. We've never been before and dont use credit cards but need to hire a car for the duration but this seems to be impossible for some reason, anyone know why? or how we can hire a car with a debit card/cash/cheque etc or any other way?

Cheers in anticipation

    Main reason for it is so that the rental company has some come back if you don't return the car.
  • No, you will need a credit card.

    What are you travel plans? I used to live in Canada and have zipped about quite a bit (both east and west) on train and plane. Drop me a msg if you end up needing an alternative to the car.
