A fruitless day trying to rent a car!!

It appears that now all of the rental firms require a security deposit via a credit card or a debit card.

I don't have any credit cards and my new debit card will be 10 days in coming.

I therefore can't get wheels and am stuck here in SE Manchester!!

BTW - before you ask - I am not a millionaire and so can't afford to use trains - buses are yukky - and I can't find a jeepney anywhere!!!
