At the time of rental, a current driver's license and major credit card must be presented. At many locations, debit cards issued under a VISA or MasterCard logo which draw funds directly from the cardholder's account may be used at the outset of a rental to qualify for a rental. There are exceptions to this general policy: Debit cards are not accepted to qualify for a rental in the New York Metropolitan Tri-State Area and the areas of Hartford, CT, Philadelphia, PA, Boston, MA, Detroit, MI and select locations in the Baltimore, MD area unless you are a Gold Plus Rewards (GPR) member using a debit card in your GPR pro?le or it is an Insurance Replacement rental. Debit cards are also not accepted at the outset of a rental to qualify for a rental at select locations in the Providence, RI area for customers with a foreign driver's license (a driver's license not issued by a jurisdiction in the United States) unless the customer has in his or her name a current return airline ticket. Debit cards are not accepted to qualify for rental to customers under 25 years of age at Hertz Off-Airport locations not in the areas noted above, unless you are a GPR member using a debit card in your GPR pro?le or it is an Insurance Replacement rental. Use of a debit card to rent a vehicle is subject to a credit check to determine credit worthiness at the time of rental, the ability to present a valid driver's license and other form of identi?cation in the renter's name. At the time of rental, an authorization hold in an amount that may be greater than the estimated charges may be secured on the credit/debit card provided, to cover the estimated charges and any additional charges that may be incurred. These funds will not be available for your use. The estimated amount is the approximate total not including your promotion. If Hertz cannot secure credit approval for this amount and/or proper identi?cation credentials are not supplied, Hertz will decline your rental.
