It's been several years since I've rented a car, but the last time I did so, I ran into a big problem when trying to use my bank account card. This bank card had the Visa logo, and another I own had the Mastercard, but I was repeatedly turned away because these weren't 'true' visa cards. I did locate a company that would accept a debit/credit card, but it was after some major panic. Is this still common practice with car rental companies? I want to try bidding at Priceline, but what happens if I win, pay, and then find out when I'm standing at the desk in another city that they will not accept my bank card to hold the deposit? Not a fun weekend if that's the case. Thank you in advance.
