We need to hire a car for our holiday in Italy in May. We have been scouring the websites and all of them say they need to hold back £1000 from a credit card (not a debit card!) in case of damages etc.
We don't have a credit card and we really don't want to open one. But we don't happen to have a spare £1000 lying about in our bank accounts either. I have never known this before and wehave hired cars abroad a fair few times.
AIBU to think that this is a ridiculous set-up? Not everyone has credit cards!

AIBU?
To think that we should be able to hire a holiday car without taking out a credit card?!
