Car rentals, very much depends on the State. I seem to remember NYS or NYC, passing a law, that you don't need a credit card to rent a car.

Re: Renting a car in the US with a debit card
I have rented literally hundreds of cars from Alamo in Florida over the past 15 - 20 years (its cheaper, than a cab, to hire a car from the airport to home and drop off in Kissimmee next day, and Vice versa on the return journey), I have used a UK debit card on numerous of these occasions and prepay via their website before travelling. Alamo also has the advantage that there is a facility for bypassing the queue at the desk. I use a UK debit if booking on the Alamo UK site and a BOA card if booking on the US site. Never had any problems whatsoever.
