Hotwire accepts PayPal for the room purchase. You'll still need a credit card, debit card, or cash for the incidentals deposit though. $150-250 deposits are common.
Most hotels will accept someone else's credit card for the deposit if you call and arrange in advance. They may request a faxed copy of your parents credit card and ID.
I know this is an old post, but is the policy still the same?
I am in a situation where I don't have a credit card, but, I have a debit card and I need to book a hotel room. I can get a relative to book the room for me, but, I am having a bit of a problem with the policy of having to have the credit card and an ID matching the card upon check-in.

What are my options?
