    We hired in Frankfurt and they only took credit cards for the security "deposit". I was the only one with enough credit on my card, and had to guarantee the rental or they wouldn't have let us have it.
    So I don't know if you can find any rental company who'd let you rent without a cr card. Surprised places in Spain do it. Sorry can't help more positively...

    eurocar 'seem to' say you can pay the estimated amount online when booking

    get a friend with a CC to bookit for you and pay any excess with you debit card or cash.

    email them and ask.

    coming to think of it, I rented a car once in Munich all right using a debit card with Europcar.
    They require all manners of deposits and you taking the full insurance, but it is possible.

    Best ring the branch and you'll have your answer from them within seconds.
