The deposit and card rule for each rental car are shown beside it in the results at Sioux Falls Airport. Filter for a debit card before you compare prices rather than after. Extras charged at the desk, such as a child seat or a second driver, are listed under each car with their price.

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

Two things catch drivers out at Sioux Falls Airport: counters that refuse debit cards entirely, and rental desks that keep you waiting over 20 minutes. All 3 suppliers require a credit card in the primary driver's name, leaving anyone carrying only debit cards stranded at the counter. The terminal desks also demand patience, with Alamo averaging 23 minutes and National averaging 24 minutes to hand over keys. You can at least enjoy the brief walk across the terminal, which is rather shorter than the time you will spend standing at the desk.
