At Norfolk Airport, deposits start around £148 with Budget and Sixt and run up to £222 with Avis, but none of the 8 counters accept a debit card unconditionally. 5 of the 8 desks are strictly credit-card only, while 3 accept a debit card only for certain vehicles. Filter for a debit card before comparing prices so you see cars you can actually collect. Any extras you select at the counter are shown under each car with their prices.

If you bring your own child seat, check your airline's rules first: most carry one free, some charge.

The biggest trap at Norfolk Airport is arriving with only a debit card, as 5 of the 8 desks refuse them entirely. The other 3 suppliers only accept debit cards on selected vehicle classes, which can leave you stranded at the desk without a credit card in the lead driver's name. Long waits can also bite when flights land together, with Budget averaging 30 minutes. Every supplier desk is located inside the terminal, so at least you will not need to wait for a shuttle bus.
