Do you need a credit card to rent a car in Bucharest Airport?
The good news is that there are car hire companies at Bucharest Airport who will happily take a booking using a debit card.

What special conditions might there be for hiring a car at Bucharest Airport with a debit card?
If you have selected a debit card package you may have the option to reduce your excess liability and security deposit. This can be an advantage as with a debit card the security deposit will be taken from your account when you pick up your car which may leave you with less funds available for your planned trip. If you are eligible for a refund this will occur after you have returned the vehicle and can take a number of days to actually reach your account. Please refer to the terms and conditions of any hire for more details. You could also be asked for a second form of identification or for a flight number so the firm can see you are flying home. Again, all this should be in the car hire conditions.
