Each rental company has a different fee structure. Thrifty for instance requires renters to have a valid driving license and credit card. A per-day underage surcharge will be added for drivers under 25. The fee is generally less than $27 in most cases. However, it can vary by location. Additionally, renters under age 25 may not be able to rent certain specialty vehicles.
Avis
Avis will require you to present a credit or debit card when you pay for your rental vehicle. Your security deposit is held by the credit card or debit card and is not released until you return your vehicle. You can make arrangements to pay cash, or to rent the vehicle if you cannot pay the full rental price at the time.
Budget
Budget will store the amount of your estimated rental fees on your debit card when you use it to pay for the car. This amount is returned to Budget when you return your vehicle. It may take up to two weeks for the deposit to clear. In such cases, you can contact your bank and request that they release the hold. The hold amount could be added to your car rental price.
Hertz
