 TITLE: Is a Credit Check Required to Rent a Car? CONTENT: What Credit Score Do You Need to Rent a Car?\n--------------------------------------------\nCar rental agencies may have a minimum credit score requirement to rent a vehicle. However, they rarely publicize that score requirement.\nIn February 2019, Dollar Car Rental, part of Hertz, announced it would eliminate credit checks and proof of return travel, as well as lower the age restriction, for debit card users. It also revealed that Dollar Car Rental previously had a minimum score requirement of 660.\nOther rental agencies may have a similar score requirement, but many are more concerned with specific types of information in your report rather than the score. For example, having a history of late payments or multiple delinquent accounts could make it harder to rent a car. END
