Where can you rent a smart car in Philadelphia,PA?

21 in Houston. Need to Rent a Car. Should I fly then rent? (specifics inside)?

• I am 21 yearsof age, have a debit card, but no credit card ( I understand the hold concept if using a debit card and that does not bother me). Going maybe 3 hours away from Houston, TX. If I fly, would it be easier for me to pick up a rental car in Tyler, TX?, or try my best to get one in Houston, considering my age and that I have no credit card at my disposal? I remember googling somewhere that it was a better chance someone 21 could rent a car easier when picked up from an airport or somethig of that nature. Is this true?. If not, what is my best option and where to rent a car. Hertz, Enterprise, Dollar, and Thrifty I heard MAY rent to a 21 year old. My straight forward question is, would I have a better shot flying then renting the car and driving back, OR simply try to rent the car here? and where?. Being picked up is not much of an option if I fly, because the person I am going to see is not currently in best health and I have no one to borrow a car from here. So any answers regarding what I asked specifically would be most helpful. Thank you.

• Answer:

  It will be difficult and maybe impposible to rent with debit card and under age 25. If you do find a rental car company who will rent to you then you will most likely pay much more than a normal renter who shops around and gets the best price.
