Nope! The only thing you need to bring with you is some form of a government ID and a credit card. A valid credit card is required at check-in for a $250 pre-authorization hold. Debit cards cannot be used for pre-authorization. Once your rental is complete, you may pay with cash, debit, or the pre-authorized credit card.
