Two things catch drivers out at Malmö Airport: an absolute ban on debit cards across all 6 rental desks, and four-figure card holds at local supplier Mabi. Every desk strictly requires a credit card in the main driver's name, so turning up with only a debit card means leaving without a vehicle. Mabi holds a $1,091 deposit, which can tie up your credit limit if you expect the $208 hold typical at Hertz or Thrifty. People booking with Europcar also face the longest queues, averaging a 20-minute wait.
