Car hire with debit card, non embossed number

Are there any hire companies that will hire with a debit card that has all printed details? Most of them look for embossed details.
It is a proper MasterCard debit just they have all the details on the back.
Looking to hire from Stansted airport shortly.

From my experience it usually depends on whether the payment terminal they are using accepts your card when they put it in rather than whether it's embossed or not. I rented at Stansted using a Singapore issued debit card several years ago, which the terminal accepted when we tried it. It was probably Europcar but this gives no real indication of the situation today.Evolution, not revolution0

I would have thought that as most (all?) companies now use chip & pin, it shouldn't make any difference as to whether the details on the card are embossed or not.
Many shops and businesses don't even bother looking at cards nowadays, simply passing the card reader to the customer for them to insert their card and enter the pin.0
