Can I rent a vehicle with my debit card?

It depends on the car rental company. 

If you rent a car with your debit card, the merchant may put a temporary hold on a certain amount in your current account. This amount may be large and you must have the money in your account.

The merchant must release the hold before you can use the funds again. So it’s better to use a credit card when renting a car. This will prevent a portion of your current account balance from being blocked.
