Is it necessary to have a credit card to rent a car or check into a hotel?

True.
False.

The correct answer is: False.

Having a credit card is generally preferred for renting a car or checking into a hotel, but it is not strictly necessary in all cases. Some rental companies and hotels offer alternatives such as accepting debit cards, prepaid cards, or cash deposits. However, using a credit card typically ensures a smoother transaction process because it provides immediate proof of funds and security against potential damage or incidentals. For many rental companies and hotels, a credit card is used to secure a reservation and as a form of security deposit, which may cover additional charges arising during the rental period or stay. Therefore, while it is common practice for businesses in these industries to require a credit card, there are options available for those who do not have one, helping to make this option a valid answer to the question.
