Hi
I am looking to book car hire in Potugal this summer and do not have a credit card. Does anybody know whether a prepaid mastercard is accepted as a credit card when booking
Thanks

I think you mean DEBIT card and if you do then probably this type of card wont be of any use unless you have a credit balance of around £1000.Political?....I dont do Political....well,not much!0

They are accepted when paying for things, beware when using for automated fuel purchases and security for hotel rooms etc, in both these cases you will end up with shadow payments that dont get refunded for a month or something. (cant find source it is somewhere in MSE)
I have done some analysis of charges for different types of cards here
